I hit Publish on Tuesday’s post, and then had coffee and noodles, while sitting at my desk and dealing with more official stuff. I was addressing envelopes and slurping my lunch when I looked up and noticed my post had been Freshly Pressed. One particular noodle might have been so shocked that it jumped ship off the fork and landed in my coffee. Just maybe.
I won’t go all Sally Field on you, but I will say that I genuinely appreciate all the comments and feedback I’ve received. I’ve read every comment and look forward to responding to people. Being able to connect with people on a human level is really what my life is about, and if you found something in my writing to connect to, the pleasure is mine. I write this blog for myself, and sometimes forget that people may be reading it.
Thank you for your words and I’ll keep writing mine.
Last night Sarge and I went to this gig. I love live music, and go to see it every chance I get. Even if the musicians are new to me, I always get something out of the experience, and often come home with new favourites. This is what happened last night.
As I looked down at the gig stamp on my hand, listened to the music and wondered what word rhymes with palimpsest, I had a ‘be here now’ moment that hasn’t yet ended.
And earlier today, as I listened to the rain and Plácido Domingo, I was very here. Or there. Life is good.
I just got back from the dentist, and I was even looking forward to that. Maybe because, in my head anyway, dentist rhymes with palimpsest.

Yay 🙂 And I’m glad that you were Freshly Pressed because it meant that I discovered your blog and I have now ‘subscribed’ 😀
I love coffee, and noodles, and cats, and writing. I relate to what you write, I think you do it well. Have a great day. Marcia in Oklahoma
If I had a coffee and noodles, I too would have a noodle in my coffee! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate everyone’s kind words so much!
