Day 352

December 18, 2022

I want joy for all my friends.

and Happy Birthday, Peter. 

There are some days when I know that what I have experienced during the day is much larger than its individual parts, that it's altogetherness is much larger, has more meaning.  Today was one of those days.  I experienced my favorite ducks, one of my favorite salads, the cove, sleeping in late, and a baked apple.  I experienced several friends hurting and reaching out in different ways.  I sang with community, I sang in a group for the first time in 3 years and my voice is raw and rusty.  I watched the sunset with a friend.  Yes, and all of these parts together embody richness and make me so thankful that I have these people in my life.

I have shot the last few days with Al's Sony.   Because I don't know the camera so well, I'm not that spontaneous with it, but I'm trying to shoot more and see how it is different from the Pentax.  I also realized the memory card I bought is not very good.

I do like singing with people.  Unfortunatly, it was cold and I have to sit, too much pain in standing.  Margo got me a chair, but it felt clumsy.  Oh well.  I saw people I adore and learned 2 new songs to bring in the light. 

Margo and I watched the sunset and I realized once December is over the hawks will begin to return and enter their mating season by February.  That means needing a new lens, but first let me think about the camera.  LOL
