Cafe time
I'm sitting at a cafe, sipping a Chai frappe, and nibbling on a butter tart. Today is my birthday and I'm a mix of happy and sad.

Happy because I get to spend today with Michael. He is an amazing man who has truly made my life better. I would never have guessed or even dreamed that a relationship could be as loving, comforting, supportive, and healing as this one has been for me. Thank you, Michael, for bringing more joy into my life than I will ever be able to measure.

Sad because my two sons are away (one at camp and one with his dad), and I miss having them around on my special day. My mother and sister are out of province, too, so I'm feeling particularly separated from my "peeps".

Do I sniff and engagement! I can can only imagine feeling like that about someone. You are truly lucky! Make sure it is no less then a carrat!!!!!!! You deserve it! Maybe, let your love inspire your next short story.

LOL!

There are plenty of obstacles to overcome long before we can even consider something like an engagement.

But it's a nice notion.

Thanks, Jeff.

I did indulge, and it was wonderful. It's nice to have a day when I don't even allow a word like "calorie" to pass through my thoughts.

Thanks. I had a great day, and I'm still living off the residual good-endorphine feeling.

Happy late birthday greetings from me, too! So glad Michael was able to be with you even if the kids and family are away.

Thanks. Michael made my day, for sure. We had a lovely evening, too. We rented "Last Chance Harvey" and had some quiet time. All very comforting.

LCH is a delightful couples movie. Makes you stop and appreciate second, et al., chances. B and I just recommended it to someone else. You must have heard us!

Have a wonderful year. I'm not too late to wish that!
