Thursday Morning, May 2

May 2, 2019

1) Wanting to be excited about the future. Certainly the May horoscopes from ye Tywne ynd Cyntrye are interesting!

1a) But what this is really going to mean for me is a) time management, b) powering through, and c) listening, diplomacy, and patience.

2) Steadfastly not complaining about the weather. Yes, it’s May and it’s chilly. We live in New England, and this is one of the risks we accept when we choose to live here.

3) Yesterday I went to a tasting with a small group of colleagues at a caterer’s HQ. Quite brought me back to my Ballet days. I’ll never forget being invited to an event planner’s luncheon held in the gigantic kitchen of one of the big Back Bay hotels . . .
