Happy Birthday to Me!


Today I celebrate my birthday. As usual, I don’t want presents or celebrations, I want solitude.  I often take a road trip to connect with things that inspire me, but life circumstances don’t lend that option this year, and I also have a bad sinus cold.  So today, while I don’t have a destination or a plan, I will make time for quiet contemplation, and take time for time itself.
It is cold, very cold and somewhat windy but the sun in out.  As I drink my hot lemon with honey and cinnamon I reflect on the fire in the wood stove and how warming it is. There is comfort in warmth; and it is quiet.   My road trip will come soon enough, but for now, I will just relax, sip my teas,  and look forward to Chris cooking me a lovely meal tonight.
