Going to children’s birthday parties is a great way to grow young. Today Aunt Zooey, as I am known to this particular set of kids, had the honour of joining the birthday girl in all kinds of activities: gift opening, playing with the gifts, shopping, watching The Zookeeper (what else for Aunt Zooey’s visit?), supper at Boston Pizza, eating cookie cake, lighting sparklers, and dodging water balloons. Whew!! I am tired thinking about it now.
They are upstairs getting ready for bed before Aunt Zooey reads the final two chapters of the book I have been reading every night since I got here. I have always loved reading stories aloud. I probably missed a calling as an actress. If only I had I ever gotten over my shyness at an earlier age. Ah, well, I probably use and enjoy the skills more in this fashion than if I had become an actress.
What skills do you use in ways that may be of better use than you thought?
Peace,
Suzanne
