warmer

Earlier this week, EM drove through the imminent snow storm to bring us a portable Lunar New Year celebration: a dumpling feast, cake, sweet treats, and the traditional red envelope with a money gift for Nu. It was only when I was putting away the bags yesterday, that I found the felt good luck decoration at the bottom... I hung it up with the other ones, and took this picture to send with a thank you message.

(It triggered the memory that the last time we'd eaten out with EM was the Lunar New Year dimsum we had together at the start of the pandemic in 2020. Someday, we'll do that again.)

I wanted something warm to note for today... red is warm; love is warm.

This is beautiful ... something about the red is warm and vibrant in the middle of winter.

Thank you, Nicole and Justine!
(Justine--I agree about the red... all our many celebrations of light (Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, Yule, etc. etc.) in deepest winter must have a common purpose, eh?)

Thank you, Gillian! I will as time permits.

 It has been a year. Some days it feels like yesterday, some days it feels like a distant dream of love.     There have been tears every day...
