Hello everyone,
Happy New Year!
I hope your holidays,
have been,
joyous,
love filled and restful.
Mine were all that.
I spent some time with,
Catherine, with my good friends.
I met Catherine’s,
daughter, grandchildren,
son in law and nephews,
at a Christmas celebration,
at her place,
we spent lots of time,
prepping and cooking,
she worked hard for a ,
couple weeks, arranging,
working the space out,
meal planning,
having 10 people over,
is work.
It went off without a hitch,
the food was delicious,
and the company delightful.
I was super nervous about meeting,
her daughter,
I had already met her brothers.
I should have known that,
like Catherine,
they would all,
be wonderful and,
they are.
Everyone was super happy,
to be together after,
a pandemic imposed hiatus.
The other gettogethers were,
smaller but super nice,
we went to church,
on Christmas Eve,
we had Christmas Lunch with,
my friends and neighbours.
We spent lots of time the two of us,
we watched some old movies,
that Catherine had never seen,
Dr Zhivago, Three Days Of The Condor,
we went to the cinema ,
on New Year’s Day,
and saw,
The Banshees Of Inisherin,
a dark, brilliant film, well,
worth your time.
On the way to the metro,
we found some Sunday New York Times,
just laying there on the sidewalk,
obviously the store they had,
been delivered to,
was not open on New Year’s Day,
I brought one home,
Books section and magazine,
and the year in photos,
as well
all the other sections,
spent all of yesterday,
evening, reading it.
Today I am home, alone,
my throat is scratchy,
bit of a cough,
so sitting around in my,
bathrobe,
doing not much.
This is my last week off.
Next week,
I start looking for a job.
I want something part time,
something I can mostly do,
from home,
that uses my talents.
I am confident I will find,
something.
I look forward to 2023,
being challenging,
full of newness,
and love.
To all of you,
I wish, health, prosperity,
and above all else love,
which is the key to everything else,
without love,
there is no peace,
without love there is,
no social solidarity.
Be well you all.
Later girls,
BB
