Any time I see the word create, I cringe just a little bit. I don’t consider myself creative; I can’t draw, paint, sculpt, write music. So I deem myself “not creative”.
Until I remember my love for cooking. Main dishes, desserts, drinks. I love to create in the kitchen. Here are some of my creations over the last couple of years from different times and seasons. With some, I am grateful to have had fresh ingredients from my garden to create from scratch. Buon Appettito!
I had dinner with some friends tonight – nothing fancy, just cooked together and had a leisurely meal that ended hours later. After-dinner conversation was interesting, funny, poignant, thoughtful, crazy. Just the way it should be among friends.
I’m grateful that I have lived with a variety of friendships and appreciate them all in different ways, at different stages of my life. Some have been lifelong friends, others newly made, and a range of ages and interests as well. It keeps me from getting “stale”, and I like that. It means that I can continue to live a life that is rich, balanced, and interesting. I hope that I can always return the kindness of friendship to as many who have given to me…
