Thirty-One

Is my age today.
Thirty One
I woke well before light began creeping into the Western sky, made a pipping mug of tea, and took myself to the ocean to watch the sun rise, walk the beach and listen to the dawn song.

Now I'm sitting at the kitchen counter eating strawberries with sour cream and brown sugar while BC makes me challah french toast.

I'd say the day is off to a WHOOMPING good start!

Happy Birthday, doll! Watching the sunrise is just an amazing present to oneself. I hope you have the bestest day with Sancho, BC and all your lovely peeps. Sending you lots of love from NYC.

You don't have to CHALLAH.

Sounds so good. Wish we could be clinking together tonight over some great meal. Soon, soon. Let's do it in May, yes?
