Happy Birthday to me.

Believe it or not, I love a rainy November day - and that's just what I have for my birthday today! I was poking around for fun on the web, and dropped by a biorhythm/fortunetelling site that I visit once every couple of years or so. There was a phrase describing a tarot card (the sun, reversed) that really describes my kind of day/time/feeling: "Poignance of dusk. Twilight shadows. Nostalgia. Haunting memories." Surprised?

That seems to be when & where I feel most at home. Poignance of dusk - the time when we're coming home, when the house is warm and glowing with the "twilight shadows" gathering outside. Supper on the stove. A time of comfort, winding down, preparing to just be home.

I'll probably add more to this post later, since my sweet sister is picking me up for lunch. But it remains a cool, cloudy day and I remain quietly smiling. It's a good day to be snug, a good day to celebrate, and a good day for a birthday. Even when the birthday has a "zero".
