Returning to routine

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

I am coming back to life, and not sure if it will last. It seems too fast and it seems too slow. But today I made a long To-do list and I tackled it enthusiastically, while last week I wouldn’t have done the whole thing in one day.  I credit my family and friends … Thank you!

Today there was a little girl in the Safeway checkout line; she stood like a ballet dancer. I learned how to do that once — foot turned out, hand on hip, chin level with the floor. Standing there with her father, she had no idea I was mimicking her stance — I’m not quite as beautiful --  but she’s my today hero — stand there like you matter! 

I’m making coq au vin for dinner later this week. I really want to master these French stews. They say to make it a day or two ahead of time for the flavors to deepen, so tonight I shopped for chicken and marinated it in California wine. 

I also worked on the storybook for my last drawing class Thursday -- words, drawings, adding color, binding pages somehow -- It's more challenging than the last assignment of scribbling with my eyes closed.

Love,
k
