Well, the sunshine has arrived! And, believe me it is very welcome. The quiet days are over now - friend Faye arrives in a short while and all kinds of conversations and such will be going on - we may even find it warm enough to walk the labyrinth tomorrow. It is so necesary to have visitors. I hadn't mopped the floor in probably three weeks nor cleaned off the table where everything that comes into the cottage ends up - it's now been removed to the second spot - a basket on my bookshelf. That stack gets cleared out about every six months or so.
I'm getting out notices about the "From Stress to Serenity" workshop I'll facilitate on February 13 here. Have a notice on Facebook which is truly fun FINALLY. Still don't know much about what I'm doing with that, but am gradually getting familiar - thanks, Stacey, for your consultation Monday evening.
What would we do without friends? I am so very grateful for mine. One of these days I'm going to make a list of all my friends and how they add joy to my life. One of my dearest friends has invited me to Phoenix for a few days in February. (Actually I invited myself, but she accepted.) Win has been my friend since 1957 or 8 when our husbands were both students at the University of Oregon. I am truly looking forward to remembering all the times we have shared over the years. That - sharing - is what is truly fulfilling even though we've been over all the same events a million times! Somehow in the sharing the events become more real - and probably more exaggerated, too.

Sharing, that's what friends are all about.
