The Morning After Solstice

I guess it's just another day except for the following:

There is a lot of popcorn scattered on my kithcen floor. I need a bigger bowl to serve popcorn or my guests got a little tipsy. (both are probably true)

My favorite golf sweater smells like smoke. Many 'releases' were sent up in smoke as we embraced the longest night of the year. It was the first fire here at the new place, what a fitting and timely welcome. I'm home.

My brain is thick and dull. I would guess that I am not the only one to be dulled by overserving myself last night. True to vampire form, I was not able to make up for any lost sleep last night either.

My spirit is soaring today! The invite went out a day before the party and I had a huge circle of friends around the fire last night. Many had never met each other. The joy of having such good friends is so incredible.

Time to catch up with my life. I will start posting photos to my website again, which I have neglected since February. It's another example of my terrible mental state over the last year.
