Had the sweetest dream this morning: I was going out for a walk, despite a mild shower, and discovered that it was spring and all the trees were in leaf, in bloom. One, filled with white blossoms, made me laugh out loud. I woke myself up giggling.
My daughter (avid gardner) says when she awakens on New Year's Day she always thinks 'In one month there will be daffodils!'

Reading
Been a long time since I have written here, as my friend Jen kindly reminds me from time to time.
Great aha moment: this week I realized that the older you are the more money you need. And I don't mean for trips to Monaco.
Also, just now, thinking that one of life's greatest pleasures is knowing that I have a wonderful new Rankin waiting for me, Bleeding Hearts. It is not a Rebus (can't have everything) and the first person narrator is a hit man, but hey, it is Rankin at his deliberate casual best.
I have read quite a pile of books since writing here over 2 months ago. Some I want to note.
I am debating whether to make any New Year's resolutions. Last year I resolved to read more poetry and laugh more. If the resolution game gets any more serious than that, I know I won't follow through. I am looking forward to the new year--aside from the poetry and a few laughs, 2006 was not an upper.
ION, my 10 year old granddaughter just won her first game of Continental. Yahoo! I used to play that game with some cutthroat players and it is a challenge, whatever one's age. I am impressed.
