A year already! Thank you for all the writings and thoughts 🙏.
I just finished Outer Wilds, which is a time loop video game. My daughter Sam recommended it and sat through my whole play through (over a few weeks often just an hour at a time). It's one of the best games I've ever played and sharing it with my daughter was ❤️🥰💓💞💗💖💕❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜.
I walked by the sea today and it had that peculiar winter feel. Pale blue sky, bright sharp sun, but chilling to the bone in the shadows. Brrr!
Thanks March - your support and kind words are appreciated!
That game (and the play-through) sounds fun, it's always good to get a recommendation. Not that I need a distraction!
Walking by the sea is a fantastic way to get in touch with the here-and-now and blow away the cobwebs of frustration. And I love that deep thrum as the waves crash on the shore.
Always fun myself being from Pennsylvania. Heard that Punxsutawney Phil may be retiring due to PETA... doubtful that it's true... but we shall see... happy anniversary of one year back. Glad to read ya! Xoxo.
Thanks Laura, your readership is appreciated! I hail from that great state too, as it happens. I hope Phil continues to be honoured for his oracular talent, and I suspect he is treated very well by the town.
I hope so too, to be completely honest. It's a fun tradition and I don't see how it harms the creature if he is taken care of -- much like a pet. I remember as a kid always wondering what his predictions would entail and we as children were discussing 6 weeks later Iif the groundhog had been correct! It would be sad for it to be a tradition that didn't last because of a group's opinion. 🙄🙄
Hope he predicts early spring! 😃😃😃 I think after those 2 snow storms last couple of weeks we are all ready for mild weather again. Most of us weren't prepared because we haven't seen even this little or much of snow as arrived. I know I want the spring like temperatures to come soon-- then I can start hanging outside again. It's been so brrrrr- cold lately! 🥶 let's go Phil! Haha.
It's a stormy time of the year here in Ireland, so it can be quite dreary. I can accept a lot but weeks of short days and grey skies can be difficult - it can feel like I'm perpetual twilight! Every burst of sunshine (even with low temperatures) is welcome!
Thank you! Wishing the same for you. I sing a song in the car that is a dance song that sings about sunlight... everyday, especially when it's sunny 🌞 there I am calling for her 'sunlight, there's nothing like your morning rays... it feels so bright... shining on your sculptured face...'-- can't wait to sing that song on my way to the Jersey shore this summer. Things to look forward to. 😊😊😊
Happy first birthday to your newsletter! I've just realized our newsletters are only a few weeks further apart in age than we are in real life, only in reverse!

That is so charming! I love the idea of singing in the sun. Keep belting out the tune in your car!
Will definitely do! 😊🌞🌞🌞❤️
