Clementedia
I'm not crazy about my birthday-- for one thing, it rolls around at about the most depressing time of the year (February 21).
One thing that brightens it up every year, though, is the card I get from my talented sister, Kathy Osler. She draws something original every time, and I love the surprise of it. She is... kind of like that generally.
As some of you know, I am a little obsessed with the Roman Goddess of clemency, Clementia. Kathy took a turn with that and imagined Clementia as a little friendlier and teddy-bear-ish. Thus, what I got this year was Clementedia.
And I love it. It sits in the middle of my mantle. I am happy to take questions when people visit. And I glance that way if I need a lift of spirits.
Now that's a gift.
