The sun is coming out in my little corner of the world. Had coffee with the in-laws before they drove off to work. Reading the Daily Hampshire Gazette which was established in 1786, before Legos, Internet and American Airlines. Hmmm, life before airlines that don’t give you free peanuts.

So the article that jumped out at me was The Death Cafe – Gatherings over tea and cake focus on death in order to enhance life. Yea, part of a bigger movement that has a website (www.deathcafe.com) and meetings such as this worldwide. People meet to talk about this topic that no one talks about. I thought maybe I would show up for the next meeting but it looks like it will be March 7th and we will be back to the west coast. But I thought I may write a little paragraph and email and maybe they could read it there. Just a topic that has been with me since I developed this cancer hobby that I am up to. I know that I haven’t talked about here on the blog but maybe this will spur me on.

I’m keeping one eye on the backyard bird feeder and although there is not a lot of traffic I have ID’d a female Cardinal and a Snow Bunting. These are two species that are not around out west with us. Birds are really a joy with all the variety and color that they display. Are there birds in heaven? I’ll have to bring that up with the Death Cafe group.

Well, I hear my Rebecca speaking with our daughter on the phone so everyone is up and I should get dressed a get prepared to go and see Osian, our Grandboy. What will his message be for me today?

OK, so keep steady the course, look for surprises and remember that the Universe is conspiring in our favor, yes, Felipe.
