Hello, February

As we welcome February, I’m saying goodbye to a January filled with various viruses and icky illnesses that had me and many others I know here sick for much of the month. Good riddance! Here’s what has me smiling and nodding now, as we start my birthday month.

Sick creative people have a hot mess and crazy ideas lying around everywhere.
…and whiskey…
…and chocolate
You know you’re getting sick and old when you fall asleep to the music you used to party to.
Be younger? Screw that!
Happens all the time
What regrets?
It’s the mug for me, though.
OMG, I would LOVE a wine discount!
Though, the fantastic wine here is unbelievably cheap already.
I love math.
I love potatoes.
Potatoes and Pikachu. French fries were a tasty treat during a walk with my little neighbor.
“Yup”
Me in Portugal texting my grown son in Cleveland about weather alerts there.

I know. 🙄

Among my favorite words of wisdom from one of history’s greatest writers, thinkers, and expats. Cheers to interruption!

I took this photo from my lounge on a sunny, 62°F day with howling winds of 50mph. Somewhere, somebody was saying that cleaning a pool during a gale warning while the wind was hurling the chlorinated water out of the pool couldn’t be done. Let the interrupting begin.


Cheers to turning 64 this month! Midlife over 60 has been awesome!

Thank you for reading! 💜 May your February be short on sorrow and long on laughter this leap year.

  1. I had a January very similar to yours, Natalie. These are all fabulous, the perfect medicine. I’ve had the potato one saved for some time. I love the one about texting with your kids; for me it’s my grandkids, it’s exactly the case! Have a great day.

  2. Happy birthday month! 🎉 I am glad you are feeling better. Your quotes are fantastic! The music one… I had similar thoughts the other day at the market. Now buying veggies to music I used to dance to, at clubs. 😂 Cheers! 🥂
