There was a grand thunderstorm today. I didn’t know it was coming. I seem to not be aware of those anymore. I just leave the house with no regard to weather. I suppose it makes each day, each hour, a possible surprise. Today’s thunderstorm was dark but not […]
Growing up one celebrated one’s birthday on that set day or maybe on a weekend day. However, it wasn’t (at least not for me) a month-long celebration. Now, many people I know go big for their birthday with month-long celebrations. I am not quite at that stage but […]
I love getting up in the morning and waddling over to my windows to look out onto the world. I try to do it every morning, everywhere I have been. I get up fairly early with 8am being the latest I wake up. And, that’s like once every […]
