My birthday has come and gone and along with it, a great evening at the local Italian restaurant with wonderful friends. It was such an enjoyable evening that I think it was mutually decided by all that we should do this more often. I get so wrapped up in accomplishing things for the shop or working at the shops; that I forget to nurture myself as a person! I think it shall become my new goal to remember me. To take care of me as I would a friend or family member. We will see how that journey goes....
The wind is fiercely howling tonight, shaking the house, making strange creaking noises and causing me unnamed anxieties. I do not know what it is about wind and blinking electricity but it puts me on the edge of a near panic state. It must date from the many years I lived on the beach here when I was always worried that the water would come over the bulkhead and try to wash the cabin away ( wait - that did happen - more than once ) or that trees would fall everywhere and block the road and start electrical fires ( wait - that also happened ) or that the wind would blow in a window or push the walls in ( wait - that happened too ).. no wonder the wind causes me anxiety! I have lived it!
