overcome my fear of flying (read all 2 entries…)
12 flights in a few months ;)

I am so glad to have (I think?) finally conquered this one. Whew!

It took: RT to Asia – MSP-NYC-Dubai-Dhaka-Jessore-Dhaka-Kathmandu – then a RT to San Fran, ending with a landing in MSP featuring a severe storm riding shotgun.

The flight through the storm encountered significant, G-dropping falls. Could it get worse than that? Would I care? I thought I was very calm, and did not freak out as anticipated.

I think I can file this as ‘done.’

Wish ~bp a Birthday full of colour and wonder on 24th May
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, bp

I am very thankful and grateful to have met such a kind, compassionate, talented, supportive, creative, intellectual and hip friend out here on 43. Together with your natural beauty, all this combines to make you the radiant, stunning woman that you are. I wish you a wonderful year ahead. :)

(Sorry the cupcake looks a bit lackadaisical compared to some of the other proffered desserts—but it is colourful… and wonderful! :D)

Today I was grateful for…

getting through today (generally a good thing to be grateful on any day, I think!)

a plethora of amazing ponds and small lakes on the Great Northern Trail – beautiful reflections.

honeysuckle. Ooh… it’s an olfactory opiate.

adventures in sewing ~ I tried making my own pattern today from something in my closet. I think it worked well! I also ordered a serger… one more step towards having a nice little side-gig selling marvellous skirts.

friends, worldwide. :)
