I'm a little bit overwhelmed––mostly by goodness––this, my birthday season.
I'd been sad last week, expecting a nothing birthday (because pandemic, also it was below-zero temps). The weather warmed up though, the sun came out, and this past week, I got lots of outings outside with friends!
And presents, and cards.
All good.
It's a lot of cake to digest.
Meanwhile I've been looking through old photos, which, you know, brings up mixed emotions.
I'm not much of a group person, but of course you do end up in them, usually in workplaces.
So here's a round-up of some of my work groups.
But first--a favorite, not from work:
me & bink with other peregrinas met along the way, El Camino de Santiago, twenty springs ago (2001).
I'm second from left (gray pants); bink's second from right (red backpack)
Backing up...
BELOW: Chicago, Columbia College Library, 1987
I'm back row, third from right (the mullet haircut was in style)
BELOW: MCAD Library (1995?)
I'm third from left (sleeveless shirt); bink is to my right
Here I am in 2014 (leaning on table) doing activities with people living with dementia:
I'm far left, in pink-filter respirator.
Then, happy birthday month to both of us; you at the front and me at the bend of the month. A lovely group of photos.
