Today is my birthday, and I'm having such a fun day. Jose is not here, he is on his way back from Florida. He'll be here tonight to take us out for dinner. Still the kitchen fairies are giving me a great birthday. They asked me to hang our birthday banner, and to make another one with fancy letters and cut out paper with different shapes, and they even made me drive to the party store and they picked out balloons for me. We still have to bake cupcakes this afternoon.
They make me feel like a girl with her little girl friends.
Birthdays were not a big deal when I was little, but it seems that as I grew older there is more and more to celebrate. At the same time, I feel that I have learned to ask for less, and to give more. I have learned that maybe I don't have a lot of friends, but the few I have right now, in my daily life, are a treasure to me. And the ones that I met in the past are still there, happy to keep in touch no matter how long its been since we last saw each other.
I realize I have so much to create that I have literally stopped moaning about what I don't have, and what a haven't done, to start a creative process. I don't even check my weight anymore !! I pray more, I eat less. I still like to have a drink or two on the weekends.
In a nut shell: I'm happy, so happy.
