I’m alive. It’s been three months since I wrote a blog entry. I’ve had things to share, but have been feeling stuck in a number of ways. Sorry to be out of touch.
December 21st was my birthday. I was glad to see another one. I still had a cold that just wouldn’t let up, so I postponed my dinner with friends for a week.
I saw my feline friend Mustache on my birthday which always
feels good.
I decorated my door with paper snowflakes I cut out the way I learned to do in grade school. Doing that continues to bring me joy.
I was informed that I share my birthday with Jane Fonda (who I have felt a connection with since “Cat Ballou”).
My friend Robert Gibbons wrote a poem for me for my birthday. I was so surprised.
Central Park West (for Mindy
Matijasevic)
was it there I met you one night
over the dinner table with poems
and hummus, or red wine. I am
not
sure, three or four of us at a
collation party
but the connection has always
been magic
your melodic way of comedy, then
your
serious demeanor, people would
not know
how much fun you are. You are my
poetic
comedic, superstar, Bronx mama.
May your
birthday be not another day, but
a way
to laugh and sing, may your
birthday be not
another day but a reflection of
all your worth
when I read your blog you bring
down Earth
Happy Birthday Queen of the Bronx
Robert Gibbons
That made me feel real good.
Thank you, Robert. ❤

Christmas joy came in the form of a neighbor’s new puppy. I received so many puppy kisses, and it warmed my heart and the feelings stayed with me. A puppy is so eager to give and receive love. And it’s so pure. Those were my best moments of that day.

One week after my birthday, when my cold was much milder, my friend Judy took me out for dinner and drinks. She is super generous with me. I love her company. We were able to fill each other in on much of what is going on in our lives. I love times like that.
…
There’s more, but I’m going to fast forward.
