Today is my birthday. My 40th, to be precise. Luckily, attention is always diverted from my birthday because it's Surprise's birthday, too. Pretty cool, huh?! I didn't even plan it that way, he arrived 2 weeks early, right on my birthday. The best gift ever, and the added bonus is that people tend to forget about ME - which is just fine with me!
At one point a few weeks ago, I planned on pulling the covers over my head and staying in bed all day, perhaps with a gallon of Ben and Jerry's or a six pack of Mike's. Yes, facing forty was not going well for me. But the closer it came, I decided instead to figure out how to make a fresh start. Life begins at 40, right? Right?! But, although I've been thinking about my future lately, I didn't wake up today with some momentous idea of how things will be from now on. And I didn't feel any different either...it was just another work at home Wednesday. I woke up with the same creaks and pains as I did when I turned 37, or 25 (probably...I really don't remember.) There was, believe it or not, a somewhat magical moment when things sort of popped into place, and there was a gift that almost arrived, but both events are too much to process and relay at this moment...so stay tuned.
