...in no particular order...
We are safe, warm, fed, sheltered...and this is a blessing. We are privileged.
The dogs had a short walk around the block, Rocco in his coat, because it's a little chilly out. I'm ready for more cold.
I'm excited to be traveling to California on my birthday later this week. It'll be so fabulous to be with the family again and near the Pacific.
Also, on my birthday, I'll officially be a senior citizen (at least according to Medicare). It's weird, you know...I mean, sometimes in my head I still feel like a 12 year old. 65? Kinda blows my mind.
My dreams are so weird. I can figure out why some stuff shows up, but the rest? Never anything profound or prophetic...just plain bizarre. That being said, it sure is amusing.
Dare I say (write, express?) publicly that it feels like my creativity is starting to bubble up again? It's that little spark, maybe growing a bit brighter. It's an energy that I can't quite explain. "Keep it up" I tell myself.
The garden sleeps. Later this month will be pruning time...then procuring wood chips...then procuring mushroom compost. That flurry of activity is already anticipated, if only in my imagination. Seeds...the catalogs await perusal.
I've put on weight. The only thing I can figure is it's due to my anxiety meds, as nothing else has changed. I watch my reactions, my feelings about this, not always liking what I see.
I actually rather love the start of a new year. I love the winter, more so this year than I've remembered in the past. Of course, the winter has only just begun.
The rest of this day will entail reading, cooking, stitching, maybe drawing. I want to encourage the creative flow to move on into 2024 with me.
I wish you all a very good 2024!
