Relative Something

The joy of celebration is all about! Yesterday was Cyndie’s birthday. In the past, I tried a few times to broadcast birthday news for friends or family and mostly come short of my intent of flooding their inboxes and voicemail with greetings. I made no mention of Cyndie’s day, and she was inundated with messages. My powers are inverse!

Today, celebration is all about our 2nd college grad. Open house this afternoon and evening means beaucoup food! The kitchen is being utilized, full tilt. Chocolate, sugar, salt and fats will be available in abundance! Imagine how great it would be if we actually needed those calories. Far be it from me to spoil the fun. When celebrating, we don’t eat for sustenance, we eat for pleasure.

I will try not to enjoy myself too much.

We’re not going to let gray skies and intermittent showers spoil the fun. The floor can be washed when it’s all over. Let it rain. We have much to appreciate today and we will do so. It is all combined, grief and pain along with joy and happiness. What a crazy world.

Happy Saturday!
