Forgive me dear reader, I am tipsy tonight with a full bottle of prosecco, enjoyed in the company of a wonderful friend who was helping me to celebrate the anniversary of my birth. Glad to be alive, am I. Yesterday I spent the afternoon with friends in a cafe and the evening with my girl, dining on Korean cuisine and exchanging messages and pictures with friends and family flung far and wide. I feel profoundly held and loved, and so very grateful for the people in my life who hold me and love me.
