After several (many several) months of not writing a single word, but very often thinking about it, I am sitting here, at last, attempting to put my thoughts on this page. I love writing. I've missed writing. Almost as much as I miss drinking wine when I decide I should cut back...almost. In my head I have grandeur visions of waking at 5:00 am each day and spending an hour writing....or is it that I wish to get up and start drinking wine? Hey, I subscribe to the "it's 5:00 somewhere" belief! So today, I will write and drink wine and all will be grand! I will head over to the home of my good friend and we shall have a long overdue visit over a nice glass of red wine. It's somewhat amazing how you can spend long periods of time not doing something and then, when you finally do it again, it feels like you've been doing it all along. Whether it's writing, or drinking wine or finally seeing a friend after a longtime, the feeling of happiness is fabulous. The conversation flows, the wine flows, the words flow....it's like you never stopped. It's exactly what people say about riding a bicycle! There are so many different types of wine, just as there are many types of friendships. Some friends you see regularly, spend time with, are close with all the time. Others, you are close with but don't get to have regular visits. So when you do have a chance to try a new wine or make a new friend, embrace the opportunity. Say hello, twist of the cap, pull out the cork, extend your glass and drink. You may just find a new friend or a new favourite wine or just a new experience that changes the way you think or the way you feel or the way you view the world. Cheers!
