It’s been nice

I hope all of you,

have been enjoying,

the holidays.

Mine have been nice.

Company,

not too much,

outings,

not too many.

One more with the kids,

on the weekend,

and,

a movie on New Years day,

and,

that will be it,

another Christmas,

come and gone,

no fighting,

very little arguing,

very cordial,

very nice,

I know this isn’t,

everyone’s experience,

and,

it hasn’t always been,

mine.

But, for the past few years,

it’s been,

relatively,

stress free,

and,

filled with people I love,

that isn’t to say,

that some of them,

don’t make me batty,

but,

I love them

đŸ™‚

Today was my last day off,

a quiet day,

spent,

doing,

not much,

blissful.

Mom and I watched,

You’ve Got Mail,

well,

I did,

she mostly snored,

mom is tired.

I love that movie,

so intelligently written,

well acted,

and,

with a beautiful New York setting,

the backdrop,

is the book business,

the changing nature of it,

and,

what I like most about it,

is the multi-dimentionality,

of the characters.

Love in the modern age,

the changing nature of means,

of meeting,

a potential soul mate,

lots of themes,

lots of ideas,

that’s a lot to get from,

a romantic comedy,

and,

yet,

that is what it is,

a romantic comedy,

for the mature woman.

Add to all that, Meg Ryan looking luminous,in sweater sets,and,well,you are pretty close to movie perfection, in my opinion. Note- I said movie and not film, this isn’t art, but, it is first class entertainment, satisfying and even, thought provoking.

You’ve probably all seen it,

a few times,

it’s an older movie,

but,

to me it’s like,

comfort food,

not mac and cheese,

or tomato soup and grilled cheese,

more like,

delicious,

nutritious,

and filling,

a complex vegatarian lasagna,

satisfying and rich,

that doesn’t,

leave you feeling,

like a beached whale.

I’m babbling,

just checking in,

hoping you are all well,

happy, healthy and loved.

Later girls,

BB
