My time of the year
Yesterday was one of those days that made me feel so alive. The sky was a beautiful deep blue with a few white puffy clouds; the air, brilliant, crisp and invigorating. I went for a bike ride and everything was working so perfectly. The bike moved easily, even when pedaling into a stiff northeast wind. My body felt so strong and performed accordingly. I got a good cardio workout and worked up a good sweat. It was the kind of day that begged me to stay outside and play as long as possible. I happily obliged.

Old friends were God's gift today
Today was a day just like yesterday, only no time for bike riding. It was grocery shopping in the morning and more in the afternoon. Normally I go only in the morning, but this day was different. And because it was different, I ran into two friends at Stop & Shop. It was good to see Thelma who is a classmate of mine. No sooner left her to head for the checkout then I ran into Joyce, who used to work at Connecticut Natural Gas when I was there. Talk about old home week. It’s so nice when you run into old friends.
