Laughing

Last night started out with a modest dinner in a good qaulity family-run resturaunt. It was so good to see some familiar faces and I felt relaxed and happy. A busy day after what has been in some ways an ordinary week - but an ordinary week in which a lot of thngs shifted around inside me and I feel able to make new accomodations for the complexities of my life.

A bottle of wine was opened and shared.
Another bottle appeared with mian course -
thank you wine fairy -
i wasn't really in touch with the practical mechanics  of things by then. 
And that is the magic of a nightout, isn't it? 
Sharing a meal, telling stories, laughing and being loud. 
Laughing some more. 
Tipping and praising the patient, tired staff. 
Spilling into the street for circular goodbyes and
'which way are you going?' muddling.

Guilt-free pleasure and belonging.
Wonderful, just wonderful.
