Happy Birthday to me ..
One more year down, tucked away and ready to start the next ... so as of tomorrow I begin my 52nd year, and I'm actually looking forward to it. Getting "older" is not as bad as I had feared. I am beginning to work on the second half of my life ... if only I have that many years left!
Today was a great day, at least after running out of the house early to go "rescue" my niece KT who had an auto accident (more than a fender-bender / less than a crash) and helping her hook up with her mom and another car (I hear she is thanking me with a sack of Godiva dark chocolate for my birthday and she even promises not to eat it before I see her next weekend.)
After that my day settled in. I received lot's of birthday phone calls and e-mails. Birding Dad came home early and brought me lunch - our traditional lunch-for-two. I did a little scrapbooking, and birding girl played her flute for me while I fixed dinner. Just being home and able to fix dinner for us was a treat. I'm glad I took the day off. Tonight, a visit from my sister, brother-in-law and my dad for cake (Mmmmmm Carrot Cake).
Even a suprise late-evening call from one of my favorite cousins - and again, it's nice to feel grounded in family, and tradition and the people who know you so well and love you anyway.
Thank-you to step-daughters, grandchildren, sister's, nieces, nephews, cousin's, friends and especially my daughter and husband for making this another of the most special days in my 51 short years.
