Some mornings I wake up from this dream about a friend I haven't seen in 20-odd years, and my chest feels hollowed out with longing for him, for that connection. It feels deliciously right and disappointingly sad at the same time. It's a mystery.

Almost My Birthday
Today has been a wonderfully fun day. A package arrived for me and it turned out to be my copies of the brand new book that I have a published essay in!!!! Woohoo!! I cheered. The book is called Knitting Yarns and Spinning Tales. My essay is about how I got started knitting after I had a miscarraige, and why it was so comforting to work with my hands. I've had plenty of things published before, just never in a BOOK. It feels so permanent, like I have really made a stamp on the world! Huzzah! Now all of you reading this should run right out and buy that book. Hee hee. Today is also the day before my birthday, so what nice timing! Some birthday present.
