I keep forgetting it is my birthday. I have lots to wrap up at work so I can get outta' town, and it's hard to keep the whole "it's my birthday! aura" about me. My six year old nephew called me this morning, taking me totally by surprise, and sang to me. Lovely, lovely boy! If I could clone him, maybe I'd have a son of my own.... I'm excited to be spending a week with him and his 4-year-old sisters at The Happiest Place on Earth. Given various other circumstances of late, I also feel blessed that I'll be sharing the trip with Hans, my sister and her husband, and especially my parents. Lots to be thankful for!
I have known since I was a little girl that I shared my birthday with Susan B. Anthony, but I learned today that I also share it with Jane Seymour (my favorite! My niece is named after her character in Somewhere in Time.), Chris Farley, Matt Groening, and Galileo Galilei. Interesting company!
One last note: in a previous post this week, I said I got married at 29. Technically, I got married two days before I turned 29. So 29 with the Big Ride followed by the Big Depression was a mixed bag. I'm thinking 39 might follow suit, but I'm hoping for more positive transformation and a little less pain and suffering!
Big, Big, Love! (to steal from my imaginary friend Mary in California)
