Daily Notes- September 18th- My Birthday

Muffy is sharing her toy cake with all of us today.  I have so many sweet items here in the house to eat- I will wait a bit before baking my birthday cake.  Daughter brought me a puff pastry filled with raspberry and real whipped cream.  I ate one quarter of it.  Before breakfast.  She and her coworker made a run to Trader Joe's (his first time ever and he spent way more than he expected to and loved every cent of it)  which meant I had to find spots in the freezer for stuff- two cheesecakes. My son called early this morning and we talked FOREVER..... He really is unhappy working from home.  He misses "people".

I don't (as much)...because I have all of you.  Because I am writing to you everyday.  In contact with other people. Sharing what I do, think and feel- in that regard- I need to be reminded to say- thank you to each of you who read this blog.  Everyone I saw today smiled- with their eyes above their masks.....there is such kind behavior (mostly) in my daily life- I hope it is like that for you as well.  

It's chilly here in Maine today and capri pants are not the thing---I will need to sort out my long pants and my sock basket. Add my sweaters to the shelf. We slept with the windows open.  Fresh Air.

I am 74.  Nothing actually feels different.  I only "see" it in the mirror.  I could be any age....well, my knees are 74 and they often ache these days.  In my head I could be any age--I'd just hope to be smarter than I was in the past. Well, I am going to make another cup of hot tea and read a new book.  

Life is Good.  Life has been (mostly) kind to me.  I hope I have shared that kindness with people I have  had contact with...other than the people robo calling me all day long.  For them...I wish they could find a better job. A good job.  So...my birthday.......it's all good.
