Yesterday was the anniversary of my 28th birthday, I could tell you which one but then I'd have to kill you. It was an amazing day!!! 2010 has not been one of my best years, to say the least. But yesterday made up for it in spades.
Thursday evening, after our church vestry meeting, some gals took me to Crab Cakes for dinner and the birthday celebration began. Last night friends had a dinner party for me and we had a wonderful evening!!! As is tradition, it rained like crazy all evening. Ever since I moved up here, we're guaranteed snow or heavy rain for my birthday.
My facebook page was filled with posts from family and friends which made my heart burst. I'd been feeling kind of worthless the last couple of months but my grandkids and nieces and grandnieces/nephews reminded me that they love me even from varied distances. My brother and my kids called. There were f/b posts, cards, you remember - the kind that come in the mail through the postal service, emails, and phone calls. I realize I have more friends - real, caring friends, than I'd imagined. The warm and fuzzies are still with me this morning.
It almost makes turning another year older something to look forward to ... but not too soon. I'm happy to bask in this warmth, at this age, for now.
Happy "Anniversary"!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry we haven't seen anything of each other since I left ECCO. Life has just been too crazy. But I have been thinking about you and yours and want to get together soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday/anniversary, even though it's late.
