Wine, Woman & Write

It's my birthday this week. I officially celebrated another year yesterday. Woot! I didn't plan a thing, but somehow wonderful things happened. First, a neighbor came by with a balloon, flowers and a card. We had coffee together and chatted. Then there were the phone calls from friends and family far away. And finally, very spontaneously, I went to a neighbor's house to get a document signed. When they heard it was my birthday, they brought out leftover cake and a great bottle of wine to celebrate.

I love that!

I've been celebrating a lot. Today I went out for lunch with a friend, had a bit of wine and then home again to write.

I made a new year's resolution this year, privately, to increase my connections with other women (writers and non-writers). And this was the first week I had the time to really pursue this goal. I don't know about anyone else, but without social time, I cannot function or write well at all.

This blog isn't really inspirational or well-thought out, but it's from the heart. I love my good times with my female friends as we drink wine and write, talk and LIVE.

No matter where my journey takes me as a writer, I know I don't travel the road alone. That's a great way to start the new year of my life.

CHEERS!
