The view from my desk
Good morning everyone.
I am taking a tea break,
and thought I would,
blog.
Yesterday, was my birthday,
I turned 58.
It was a lovely day,
a Monday.
The sun shone,
the wind blew,
there were some clouds,
but, yes,
a beautiful day.
I had breakfast with,
my friends and neighbours,
I received lovely presents.
I had a nice time at a special event,
with my former colleagues.
I have two lunch invites this week,
and on the weekend,
Catherine and I will celebrate,
so it is going to be a birthday week!
Woo hoo!
One of the things that has changed,
in the last year, or so,
I have stopped referring to myself,
as black thumbed.
A lovely couple I know,
was moving last spring
and giving away,
plants, so I took a few,
they lived!
A green thumbed friend,
gave me some plants,
for my birthday,
gave me,
careful care instructions,
and helped me transplant.
I now have plants,
in my bedroom, my office,
and the bathroom,
they are thriving,
they are lush,
and they have helped me grow.
I no longer think of myself,
as a plant killer,
I have joined the ranks,
of plant caregivers, lovers.
I am not an accomplished,
gardener…yet,
maybe, someday.
Along with plants,
and painting,
a new job,
the love of a marvelous woman,
the caring and generousity,
of friends,
of community.
It has been an amazing year.
Thank you, life
Gracias a la Vida!
Be well you all.
Later girls,
BB
