11-261 (16/9/24) -- Relaxed & Low Key

We had a low key day -- very relaxing. We did some shopping and other errands. Lunch was at a local restaurant -- fun food and time to visit. We spent some time on campus where my dear met some of my colleagues and friends. It was late afternoon, so several had headed home already, but we did see a couple. Supper was simple and low key -- leftovers. It was all Italian food -- ravioli and fresh sauce from yesterday as our appetizer and my baked ziti for the main. It was all so very yummy. We are certainly all about the food <smile>

I am reminded of a song when I think of relaxing music and lyrics. This cover by a group that began in Toronto when I lived there eons ago. I had an apartment on the 7th floor with a balcony that looked out over the west of the city. It was quite relaxing to stand there after dark and watch the lights and the sky. Here today, we spent time looking at the sky after dark. a calming process.  Keep safe. Enjoy!

11-260 (15/9/24) -- Celebrate!

What a wonderful day. Today was sunny and warmer than the past two days have been. It was a very pleasant day for a birthday. <smile> We went for a walk along a path that was new to us both. It felt good to get out in nature and breathe the fresh air. I liked the metaphor of walking a new path. I challenge myself to do new things during the next year -- matching the number of new things to the number of years at my birthday. Not all new things are chosen by us -- some fall into our lives. All are things that help us learn and grow. We just have to remain open to  those lessons. 

Supper was wonderful. My dearest friend made fresh tomato sauce and served it with spinach-cheese ravioli. Very yummy. Of course there was cake for dessert complete with a candle and the singing of the birthday song. It all made me smile. 

The day was a delightful celebration. One song came to mind while thinking through the day, so it is shared here tonight. Keep safe. Enjoy!
