18th September

The end of my 60th birthday, found me at my i-Group (men's circle) where I told MY current piece of this story. It was very good to be surrounded and encompassed by men that I have history with. A fine, simple meal was provided, I had some rants, let off a bit of steam, got hugs and waswell honored on my 60th, followed by champagne and cake. I needed some good feeding of both food and man vibes. Good to let down my protective armor a bit. Gotta work on that.

Hugely pleased that Maryse, for the moment is only experiencing fatigue, not other side effects, other than a bit of loss of appetite.  I don't blame her for that...I made a really horrid soup last night, put me off too. In trying to cook too consciously and appropriately, I created something that went from stove to down-the-toilet without passing through people. Voila!


It was another quite good night. This morning Maryse coached one of her clients by phone and now we are off to the acupuncturist for a pointed session.

All things being equal, and if energy allows, we will join family tonight for Rosh Hashana, at least for a while.Or not, depending. That's how it is going at the moment... check the battery level before we push play.

(AND, Happy New Year to those in that loop)

  4. Dear Anonymous Above, The soup started with beets, a little carrot, simple root-ish vegetables, corn, onion. Then through inattention, proceeded to slightly burn it ever so slightly resulting in a brown, porridgey consistency... need I go into deeper, and vile, description? :-)

  7. Dearest Maryse and Steve,
    First congratulations on the achievement of capturing 60 Steve: joy and blessings of every kind.
    Maryse, I always read the blogs even if i don't always comment... Even in our silence there is deep and appreciative thought and blessings for you. May every day be the start of a new l'shanah tova for you. I recently read that Shalom also has the meaning of Being Whole.
    Shalom and Love
    Reinette

  10. Steve and Maryse,
    At this season of your birthdays, the Jewish New Year, the spring equinoxe, we wish you the happy shedding of unwanted and un-needed things (like burnt soup), and the emergence of new ways of living and being together. We are with you from afar in body, but closely in thought and spirit.
    Love from
    Maureen, Russel and Joel
