"So what's been going on Gary?" asks a friend on the phone.
"Everything as planned" I say, which is to say not much really.
Mum gets on the phone to ask if we went to a dance lesson last week. "Nope, missed it again", I say.
We had intended to but spent an exhausting day on the beach and upon arrival home took a nap. The cool pillow felt so good on my face. We slept through the lesson, perhaps next week.
Dinner and a few drinks with neighbors last night was fun. Happy hour lasted till six o'clock but we ended up staying till after seven, the view of sailboats at night gliding past our table was amazing.
I remember a quote from a popular book; "It's your life and it's ending minute by minute." How true.
For now, this winter, we inhale. We build strength. We coil our energy, waiting for the moment to release.
We are patient.
