I feel like such an idiot. I can't believe I forgot to publicly welcome July with the open arms and warm heart it so rightly deserves. In all the hubbub surrounding the blowout ceremony to celebrate the end of June, I completely neglected to give July's hand a hearty hello shake. I was just too busy clinging to June, exhausting myself what with all the weeping and hugging. So, for what it's worth ... Welcome, July!
