Day 123 & 124: I didn't forget to write yesterday, but it was such a busy day that I was just too pooped to post. For those interested, here's the "Coles Notes": I started the day sleeping in at home (glorious!) and was in BA by lunch for a little family reunion of sorts. You see, tomorrow, December 1, would have marked Grammy P's 99th birthday. She so loved celebrating birthdays, her own or anyone else's (regardless of whether they were present or even still living lol) and so it just felt fitting to mark the day for her. It was all set up and organized by my younger sis, and though we couldn't get absolutely everyone's schedules to jive with the plans, we did end up having a little crowd to celebrate in her memory. It was just beautiful, to use one of her catch-phrases, and it was so lovely to see family that I don't often get to connect with. After lunch I headed to Toronto to see a dear Friend from my university days, and he and I and my younger brother went to dinner and caught a theatre show. The entertainment and food was marvellous, but *my* highlight was reconnecting with that wonderful person that I hadn't seen since my uni days, a stage in my life which is longer ago now than I care to think about. I spent the night at my good Friend V's house, and we went out to a delicious breakfast together (complete with home made jam!). This afternoon was my youngest brother's birthday party (actual birthday is on the 2nd), and then I drove home to OS to attend choir practice. Phewf! What a whirlwind weekend. So what is my happy for today, you ask? My happy is twofold. The first I've mentioned before, but it's worth mentioning twice: my beautiful family, both immediate and extended. I'm so very lucky that I have a huge boisterous loving family on both sides of the tree. Seeing some of those from the "P" side this weekend was awesome and I hope to connect with them more often. My second happy is that I am healthy, safe, able to get around on my own and look after myself. Sometimes I take my physical health for granted, but in a flash of an eye life can change, and does for many people. Make each day count. I'm trying. #365happydays
