Too Late to Turn Back Now JUNE 39ers!
With this month, watching the sun rise and set with a little life in between ... I’m officially dubbing our monthly article the Aging with ATTitude Platitude for 39ers! Yep, I’m repurposing the article-ending quote to use for the title, too. Happy UN-Birthday JUNE 39ers ... and many more!
֎ Celebrating JUNE ~ with ATTitude!
Is June your UN-birthday month, or are you ready for a summer party with
your Gemini and Cancerian friends? How
about turning it into a volunteer party to help clean up our oceans and rivers?
I have ideas for you, but first ...
I know you’ll all identify with National Bathroom Reading Month! Admit it—we all do it, whether it’s your phone, a newspaper, or a book. Which reminds me of a fun, fond memory ... I come by my writing naturally, and my mother took it to the bathroom. We always had a notepad and pencil tacked to the wall to while away our time and write a few witty thoughts. Of course, someone had to inscribe, "Here I sit, broken hearted. Came to sh*t but only farted." Did I mention we have a family full of class clowns? (Or is that "crass"? LOL). Take your ‘puter, phone, paper or notepad with you, for your next restroom break and enjoy the moment!
Are you closer to a river than an ocean? Hooray! You get to celebrate too, with National Rivers Month! Since it’s without an official link, we went searching for a suitable stand-in and found the National Environmental Education Foundation in Washington, D.C. Do you know: “The United States is home to about 2.9 million miles of river to enjoy and protect.” Learn where to boat and fish, and how to protect your local lazy river as it meanders through your area. Of course, you can help clean it up!
June 8th: Yep, along with National Ocean Month, there must be a World Ocean Day! If you can participate in cleanup efforts on this day, terrific. But weekday or weekend, you can make it a family, or friends, or company play day! Here’s what one organization is doing—or look for ocean events across the country.
June 18th: Look out! It’s World Juggling Day and chances are you’ll see someone trying it, whether they have the expertise or not. Juggling has been around so long—near as I can find, since the ancient societies in the Middle Bronze Age—it boggles my mind just to think about it! And for pure amazing difficulty of throwing and catching, it’s no surprise that the most common performance juggling item, is a bowling pin! Slim, with a catchable bulb on one end and the other unwieldly large, catching it is practically a magic act in itself. If you want to try it, may I suggest small, plastic pins at first?
June 19th: No, we haven’t forgotten about dear ol’ Dad. Brownielocks’ calendar gives us a nice account of Father's Day history. And we’re all about the “good ol’ days” here, so give yourself the gift of fond moments or memories with Dad, and if you can, make some new ones! An oft-quoted truism, “Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a Dad.”
June 28th: New Moon Musings are special too! Though a full moon gets most of everyone’s attention, a new moon also has unique qualities that affect us all, in perhaps a more subtle way. By the time the new moon comes around this month in the Cancerian zodiac, we’ll be ready for the changes it’ll thrust upon us. Just as its moniker states, it often brings new beginnings in our lives, so pay attention to your new moons, especially if you’re wondering which way to turn. In June, listen to your instincts.
♪ Monthly Song of Note:
Are ya ready to sing along?
This ol’ song is a great karaoke tune. Too Late to Turn Back Now by Cornelius Brothers (& Sister Rose [backup singers]) is
a soulful song that obviously struck a love-nerve with many, in June 1972,
as it hit #2 June 30th at KCBQ/San Francisco. ... ♪ It's too late, baby to turn back now I tell ya ... ♪ Manifest your memories, 50 Years Ago this Month!
֎ For 39ers who Follow the
Stars …
Happy UN-Birthday 39ers! We start the first month of
summer with Gemini (05/21-06/20) who may want
to reevaluate their close personal and professional relationships. Change might
be necessary, but it needn’t be catastrophic. Even a small adjustment can make
a difference. Take heart, Gemini, clarity comes toward the end of the month.

♪ 06/01/22: Try as I
might, just couldn’t get the blogs up on time. I did it to myself—what was I
thinking, writing three blogs, all to be posted on the same day? Sigh.
Please come back later today (or tonight or ASAP!) for JUNE’s Summer fun and
festivities 39er style ... might as well ‘cause it’s ... Too Late to Turn Back Now JUNE 39ers! Work
in progress … and watching the sun rise and set with a little life in
between ...
