November is one of my favourite months. It feels like a pause or a moment of restfulness before the hurly burly of the festive season. The quality of light when the sun appears, makes normal things more luminous.
November is also my favourite month because my birthday appears in the middle of it. This week I discovered that the authors of two blogs that I follow also have their birthdays in the same week. And we are all virtually the same age. I consider these two women to be blog friends, mentors and inspiration. Their blogs can be found on the links below.
Real world friends with similar birthdays would probably gather on a comfy sofa and natter away amongst plump cushions.

We would talk about our friends, families, pets and life in general.
I would certainly moan about the two viruses that have dampened the spirit of November 2023 for me. Dampened but not damaged. Although by keeping away from people because I was a walking virus pool I have been a lot less social in my real world this November.

Friends, be they virtual or actual are one of the magic ingredients of life. They are invaluable wherever and however they manifest themselves. They help us make sense of the world.
Happy Birthdays November friends.

and happy birthday to you, as well. when I began your post today, I was going to say that we have that in common and then, you said it before I had the chance. my fav month too, for birthday months are amazing, and for it being an ‘in-between’ month, which I always find fascinating, just lie people are not all one thing or another. yes, it’s great to have friends of all kinds, online or in person, still friends. happy birthday!
