Retrospect: I usually go on a solo drive in the beginning of

spring. My choice would always be a drive to the beach and silently thank the heavens for the year that was.

Last year was filled with a lot of angst and confusion, followed by a month spent eating a ton of pasta to shake the bad juju out. Surprisingly, taking the pandemic out of the equation, it has been quite a happy year despite that shaky start.

Life really has a funny way of making you do detours that you would never have thought you needed. Why am I writing this rather long post? Coz maybe one of you needs a reminder to enjoy the detours.....and also to eat lots of pasta when life gets a bit testy.
