It was a glorious sunny day with a bit of a breeze -- well, it was a wind <smile>. The air felt warm, but not as hot as the past two days have been. A drier air mass in place reduced the discomfort from humidity of recent days, too. A friend and I went for a late lunch at the new outdoor deck downtown -- they call it a patio -- for the first time eating out since February <smile> We went at 1:30 PM in order to avoid the crowds and it worked. Only one other table had people finishing their meal. Tables were well spaced and the outdoor air offered great air circulation, something indoor venues don't do as well. What we think of as cozy for a restaurant involves lower ceilings and narrow places -- air doesn't move well there. The comfort of the past, now feels a bit oppressive. It was a fun outing.
Thinking of the communications of the past few days, I feel extremely lucky for the wonderful people in my life -- those who clearly care for me. I've been feeling guilty for not keeping in touch with several people, so still need to do those notes for the mail (not everyone spends as much time online as many of us do). I still don't know what holds me back from writing a quick note to say 'hi' and ask how they are doing. Maybe it is that a reciprocal exchange of information would be expected and I don't know what to say without sounding sorry for myself some days <smile>.
Today I heard a single from a new album that had a great line -- "from now on, I ain't gonna wait so long". As a very dear friend often reminds us, let those you care about know - now. Tomorrow is promised to no one. Take care. Enjoy!
