I was sick as a dog on New Year’s Eve, but I only rested all day on Jan 2nd. By Jan 3, I was driving friends to SF and watching the emeralds and diamonds on exhibit at the Legion of Honor. The year will go by fast and I hope I do not miss anything. It is going to be raining today and I hope to stay indoors. I was at Jack London Square yesterday lunching with Jane. She treated me to a lavishly delicious Arabian dinner. It was too good to be true! The food was superb! I ate every morsel. The desert almost made me cry.
2018 for me began as a great year, but it ended dismally when Tomas passed away in August. Tasty and Nanay followed suit after him, we had three of our loved ones go one after the other within a period of three months. But we had a birth, Marcus came two days before Nanay passed.
My resolution this year is to grab life by the horns, experience everything to see the world and meet with people, cheer someone up, do something fun. No worries, no negative thinking, just keep going and brightening things up!
I am going to start with self care, now finally confronting diabetes care and seeing a new dentist. Being 63 is no picnic but I intend it to be one! I want to travel some more, participate advocacies addressing mental wellness in particular.
I had lunch with Shane at Drayfa in Oakland. Drayfa means hospitality in Hebrew. Every morsel they served was outstanding at that restaurant.
Jane’s chocolate creations.
Jane made chocolates from scratch. It is her expressive cooking diversion. Her results are awesome!
Jane created these bits of heaven, it is her passion to cook and create food, but this sinful decadence takes it all. She nailed it!
Everyone has to follow their creative calling. I was floored by her skill and technical chocolate wizardry! Here’s to chocolates and 2019!
