....birthdays.
My family's birthdays. My friends' birthdays.
My dogs' birthdays.
There is something special about celebrating
someone's arrival to this planet.
And, yes, I even love my birthday.
Even if that birthday is commemorating the big FOUR-OH.
Today I turn 40.
I've been looking forward to it for awhile.
My 30s were filled with the highest of highs...and the lowest of lows.
I'm eager to leave those lows behind and move on.
Last year I wrote myself a letter.
I re-read that letter last night.
To my delight...I still believe
every word I wrote to myself one year ago.
My friend, Tecla, took me to lunch yesterday.
And baked me rainbow cupcakes.
She knows how much I love cupcakes.
Thanks, Tecla. You rock.
And, Jill....we missed you a lot.
I'm blessed beyond belief,
because there are other people
in my life who want to celebrate with me.
Today. Tonight. And, oh! This weekend!
So, bring on the big FOUR-OH.
I'm ready for it.
It's gonna be a great decade.
