What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

Every month has a memory attached to it.

When I was growing up May was fun for me. It was school vacation. I remember my Veena teacher having 12 classes every day in the morning so she could have the rest of the month off. I enjoyed going to that early morning class. Yes, it was the hottest monthe yet I loved it. December was lovely too. Yes, with a cool climate (and winter break) I enjoyed it so much.

(Picture of my young man attempting to play the Veena. Reminder for me to teach him).

That really has stayed with me even after moving to the US. December here is festive and I get to do all the fun things here that go with it.

Now, what did other months do to not get my vote?

January and February are too cold. With early sunsets they do make your mind depressing. Maybe more fried food and bit more exercise at the gym solve the problem?

March and April have cold rains? A vacation will fix the mood here.

Oh I told I love May with all the spring flowers.

June and July are hot. Okay, lot of trail walks late in the day should help.

Usually we travel in August but somehow that is not getting any brownie points from me. Should start giving August the credit it calls for.

Most Indian festivals are in September and October. If I can put aside the stress for the same, they can become a favorite.

November with Thanksgiving sales should be on everyone’s favorite. Maybe I should merge this month with December and have the same fun 🙂!

Isn’t interesting our brains connect happiness with an experience? Just creating a positive experience is all that is needed for a great day.

Hope November 18th is great for you all!
