May is the perfect time to rediscover the simple pleasure of reading. As spring settles in and summer approaches, life slows just enough for quiet moments. Warmer days, blooming trees, and longer evenings invite us to step outside, open a book, and unwind. Reading this time of year feels different. Whether on a porch, in a park, or on a beach towel, it becomes less about rushing and more about savoring stories. In a busy season, reading offers a gentle pause. It lets the mind wander as the world comes alive, making books simple, calming companions.

I like to stay active throughout the year, and I love being outside soaking up the fresh air and vitamin D that Michigan offers. For the past few years, my husband and I have taken early morning walks in our neighborhood with our dog. Using my fitness app, we measured that walking the entire neighborhood equals 3.1 miles. That’s perfect when the weather is great—but not so much when the roads are snow-covered and the cold wind stings your face.
