Well another birthday.
And as it happens more times than not on this date an absolutely abysmal weather day.
We've had snowstorms,hurricanes and all sorts of bed weather on October 29th.
It has been raining all day. From all reports the worst is yet to come during the overnight with winds gusting up to 65 miles per hour.
Other than dinner with the family, the day was pretty much like any other Sunday,
Gym, coffee with my cousin,drive the bus, shop,lunch,drive the bus again.
The shopping this time was actually not for our house. 
I actually made a trip to BJ's to buy cupcakes...96 of them.
I brought a tray of 24 back with me to share with the Sunday group at the center. This is a small group of seniors all with some degree of dementia.
The rest are for tomorrow morning.
 I thought it would be fun to celebrate my birthday with all of my new friends at the senior program.
63.
Not a particularly significant number as birthdays go.
While the number is not a significant milestone, upon reflection I find myself at yet another crossroad on my Journey.
Things that at one time seemed so significant to me have become matter of fact. Things that have become mundane over the recent past are resurfacing as important.
I don't have a sense of turmoil around this. 
It's more like I find myself in a state of introspection.
Obviously the winds of change are beginning to blow again. 
All I can do is set my sails and prepare for the next leg of my Journey.
Batten down the hatches and full speed ahead!
