Filed Under The Melting Pot on November 13, 2008

So I woke up this morning to the first day of my 37th year of living. I was planning this long ass post of reflection and what I’ve learned, and then what I have to look forward to…but to hell with that for now.

It’s my birthday!!!

I had my favorite martini, and my favorite meal, and my favorite slice of cheesecake…and I wore a smile all day because I know that there is love around me and in me. Oh, I could go on and on about the things that I need to change, fix, update, re-do, organize, de-clutter, ponder, arrange, grasp, juxtapose, wonder about, forget, regret, yearn for, miss, hate, lust after, clean up, open, close, answer, and face…but today I choose to be grateful for just being…me.

Peace…

I woke up thinking the same thing about the long reflective post but then I was like WHATEVER, they get the point!
I hope you enjoyed your day! I'm sure God has so much more in store for you!
Be Blessed!!
Love You!
