It's my Birthday today, and I always try and ski on my Birthday. My friend Tony joined me and we cruised around in the alpine. Mt. Assiniboine was off in the distance, and was ever changing, with the winds and temperatures bouncing around all day.
More than New Years, a Birthday is a time of reflection for me. Am I doing what I want in the world, am I making a difference, what is next on the horizon? One thing I do think of is I miss doing more things with friends. Life always seems to be busy for all of us. I also realize more and more I do not enjoy time spent in the city. Too busy, too much commercialism etc.
I also find I do not have time for mediocrity. I have an espresso machine, and no matter what coffee I buy and grind I'm just not getting the right taste. Friends of ours have a Nespresso machine, and every time I have a coffee there I love it! So last week I bought a Nespresso machine….I am in coffee heaven!
On our flight back from Europe this past summer I watched a show on David Suzuki. He says at his age he does not give a “*uck” what people think any more about what he says or thinks. Makes me chuckle. I think I am getting the same way, though I do not have as much social status as David does.
I spent a while looking at Assiniboine, and with that time and reflection have an idea for a painting.
I hope you enjoy your Birthday, and get to spend time with family and friends doing what you like to do.
