December 8th, the day the USA declared war on Japan in 1941! And my birthday!
I am listening to Imagine by John Lennon as I write this. This birthday was a day of mixed feelings. Of missing old friends, remembering celebrating with people I value and who value me as well. I miss all those birthday surprises at my desk in the morning when I arrived at work and the social hour with the YaYas at our favorite meeting place on Pineview. I miss my boys and the grand kids popping in to say Happy Birthday! And what's cooking? And I am celebrating making new memories with new friends! I had my birthday dinner with someone else who moved back "home" this summer and someone I value as a new friend. She has been a breath of fresh air when I needed to breathe out here on the prairie. We share the love of furry kids, antiques, and the importance of family. We have talked about a road trip together to the Twin Towns sometime in the not so distant future.
All and all it has been a wondrous day full emotion of the inner kind! ;-)
Stay healthy, be happy and keep it real!
