So today is my 29th Birthday. Holidays and Birthdays are now somewhat of a mile marker for me on this journey. I remember very clearly my 20th birthday as the next day I woke up to towers falling on TV. I had no idea how much change could go on in my life in 9 years. I didn't know that Septemeber 10th would be the last day BEFORE a day so horrific we just call call it by numbers. Or that my brother would end up going to war. Or that I would marry the man I was dating at the time.
I spent my 21st Birthday having a beer with my Grandpa and a shot with my Grandma. My 22nd Birthday my bestfriend put my house key in the ignition of my new car and 23 was just after I finished dealing with my first go round with Pulmonary Sarcoid. My 24th Birthday was shortly after I got back from Climbing a Mountain. My 25th Birthday was a surprise bridal shower thrown by my future in-laws so that day was spent with family. I have no recollection of my 26th birthday (and sadly not because we had a big party) - I just don't remember. My 27th Birthday we had dinner at Claim jumpers and I couldn't have my Giant Eclair because I had surgery the next day.
That leaves last year and 28 and I can say I really felt it sucked. Mainly because I felt everything sucked. So I'm really happy to report that today I had PERFECT weather - blue sky chilly but not cold and lots of really amazing wishes from friends and family. I feel very special today. So thank you to everyone who had a hand in that.
So here is my Birthday Wish and since no candle is involved I can share it with you - that I feel as blessed everyday. And that I continue to be prepared and capable of handling everything that comes my way this last year of my 20s.
