Happy Birthday Harper

Harper

 

Today is the 9th birthday of my wonderful Japanese Chin Harper. She has been at my side through all the highs and lows of this period, and I could not imagine a more wonderful friend.

Another Trip Around the Sun

Today is my birthday and I sort of feel like the book and movie Eat, Pray, Love. In the past decade, I lived through the death of my best friend to cancer, then the sudden death of my husband, escaped from a truly horrendously abusive relationship, and then the pandemic in a new home and a new city where I did not know a soul. But that is all behind me and I am now happy beyond my wildest dreams and am so incredibly thankful.
