Yesterday was my birthday. I took the day off for some shopping, lunch, and cake, like I did last year. When I came home on my 2004 birthday, I found an email from an acquisitions editor inviting me to submit a book proposal. Which resulted in Doggie Knits, still in progress as the deadline looms near. I had the idea of doing a book, but it was for the distant future. But, who would say no when an opportunity like that presents itself? Not me! So, I would describe last year as a pretty happy birthday. Yesterday, I was preparing to leave for my shopping/lunch/etc excursion when I got a call with shocking news. A friend found her husband of 34 years dead on the floor of their home. It knocked the wind out of me, I can tell you. So good times, bad times. I guess you just never know what's around the corner. So look for fun and laughter in every day. I'm fortunate that I have the Man and Piccolo to remind me.
