I have to say that all your birthday wishes last week surprised and moved me. Thank you.
So many observations and worries and hopes that I scrawl in my notebook ultimately make their way here, to this page.
Thank you for letting me think out loud. Thank you for wondering and marveling and hoping with me.
I am grateful for your company.
Included here: the first piece of sidewalk art I spotted this spring.
I think it might be a chick.
But whatever it is, it is most certainly smiling.
