It was utterly romantic and sweet and touching.
He symbolized it with a charm to add to my bracelet. A little shell with a mother of pearl inside.
He said I was the center of abundance in our lives. The center of our happiness.
I got my own word. Yay.
Whose bday is it today?
Moi.
Not the big party it was last year (or parties that
is). I guess will have that again in another nine years. However plenty of moments
to remember of bday stuff and general long weekend of thanksgiving.
Don’t ever want my blog to be too blah..blah..blah..so
here is the summary of what is going through my mind on this special day:
My absolute favorite part of today was coming home
from work at 6:30 and seeing my family dancing as I came in the door to one of
my favorite songs “Call me Maybe”. Music blaring, in a line all four, then they
turn around and each have a sign on their backs spelling “We love you tons!!!!”
Blaring turned up to the max took my coat and grabbed me and had me dance with
them on the coffee table and all of us together.
I actually cried believe it or not. (I don’t really do
stuff like that). It made me feel….just so loved.
Wishes:6 wishes one for each at 11:11-so sure they
will all come true: pain free and boyfriend for her, office and continued
positive path for him, same amazing track for him, best school for her, coming
into his own and continuing sweetness for him. Two bestselling books for me.
Beauty gave me 5 more wishes with pennies on an envelope….so really 11 in
total.

Special calls from sista and bro and lots of friends and family. Beautiful
Indian dinner and cupcakes and dances. The table set just so with the birthday
basket. Kisses and hugs from my family. Beauty and bonding. Hubby and
closeness. As I read this I realize I am spoiled! And loved!!!
Grateful: for life, for health, for my career, my
family, my wonderful husband. For being able to say yes, and no, and get the chances
I do every day to live out my dreams. For having begun a journey of a lifetime,
and get to see my kids grow, and for holding on to the sentiment that “you can
do whatever you want in life”. You can beat the odds, and make your life
happen. And for never ever taking a
single moment for granted.
Grateful for being invited to new places, and being
loved, and re-establishing connections where they have been broken.
Mostly-for knowing where my priorities are and having
the strength to stick to them.
Because really you all give me so much inexplicable
joy in those priorities and those moments. It's easy to have laser focus with all of you around.
Those moments-they mean everything to me. And I intend to
live a whole lot more. With you.
