beginnings

We ushered in the new year among friends. We sat around and listened to music that we have loved individually or as groups or as married couples. It was good to hear everyone's choices. It was good to reach back and remember songs from my past. Songs I haven't heard in a long time.

Good food and drink was shared.

We slept. We woke and made breakfast together. The day unfolded quietly and each of us now sits content to do our own thing.

I work tomorrow. That was a bit of a surprise. Last weekend before life resumes. Each of us has chosen a word. I have a new Moleskine daytimer. I am ready to begin.

Are you ready?
