People always say that things happen for a reason, but I don’t actually believe that. I think that things just happen, but that sometimes they happen with such incredible serendipity that it’s hard not to wonder if there is some “reason” out there. My favourite Spanish word for this is “azar” (“happenstance” in English). Anyhow, YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE what happened today.

Blue Monday? I’ll take it!
18 Saturday Jan 2020
It was one of those days. Woke up to the sound of rain pounding on the patio roof, and it didn’t let up all day. By noon I decided it was going to be a PJ day and the cats and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Got some work done, did a bit of cleaning, cooked a lovely garam masala, netflixed, listened to music… and now back to bed! Sun should be out again tomorrow, and I will be too. 🙂

About…. 20 years ago?… I was hanging laundry on my roof on my birthday (January 7th) and suddenly a flock of at least 30 storks sped past overhead as far as the Santa Cruz church and – I swear – then took a sharp turn to the left. LIKE THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHERE THEY WERE GOING. And that image has never left my mind’s eye. Then yesterday, again hanging up laundry, I saw a smaller bunch of storks high up in the sky. Man! They are just so damn graceful and beautiful. And knowing that they are returning from spending the winter in Africa in order to take up residence in their forever nests with their forever partners… well, it doesn’t get more romantic than that.
Then today on my river walk I saw another whack of storks soaring elegantly above me… and you can see them too. They just filled my heart with joy.
Doesn’t matter which god, just loved this heavenly sky.
