A sense of sadness
The month when school doors open
More work, fewer zzzzzzzs

I woke up this morning with a touch of depression. Since forever, June and July have been my favorite months. I like the letter J, I love the brevity of the four-letter names, and I crave the warmth and freedom that ensues. Now I have to wait 10 more months for my favorite time of year to come around again.

So today I mourn the passing of June and July. I put my wistfulness to use in the Haiku Buckaroo contest. Write your own and enter (by August 10).

Lori Holden, mom of a young adult daughter and a young adult son, writes from Denver. She was honored as an Angel in Adoption® by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute.

Her new book, Adoption Unfiltered, was co-authored with adoptee Sara Easterly and birth parent Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard. It’s already being hailed as a “must-read” for people involved in adoption and those who love them.
Her first book, The Open-Hearted Way to Open Adoption, makes a thoughtful anytime gift for the adoptive families in your life.
Lori also co-authored, Standing Room Only: How to Be THAT Yoga Teacher with her sister, Sheri Fisher.
