Happy Birthday to Me
I generally love birthdays. A day for things to seem a little more special. A day to take an extra moment to reflect on the past, savor the present and plan for the future. Maybe even a day to do something a little special whether alone or with people you love.
I'm an easy going birthday girl. I don't expect a lot of fussing or gifts. Just a cupcake or two.
Today I was happy to have my Margot say, "happy birthday, mommy" about five times before 9am. The first few times in chorus with her sister and then spontaneously while eating her breakfast and again while alone with me in the kitchen. She just looked up at me and said it. She gets it. It's just like any other day but with a rosy glow.
So this is where I am right now. I do like to think about the future, and a time when there might actually be more time for me, but for now I'll just savor.
