It’s been a day full of celebrations – from an Italian lunch with a friend who shares the same birthday, to a decadent steak dinner at Provisions with a friend who just moved back to Houston. Everything seems brighter today, full of sunshine. My exhaustion from the flight is fading, and I’m settling back into a life that might as well be a vacation: painting and swimming, walking the dog, and occasional get-togethers with friends. The air is moist with tropical lushness, and it feels a little bit like I’m living in a resort.
