I had a lovely birthday… it stretched out over 2 days. On Sept 1, Lisa had a grand surprise party for me. Audra and the kiddies came to celebrate. There was a pinata filled with peppermint patties and my mom made chicken enchiladas. The ice cream cake was mint chocolate chip and there was nothing anyone could have done to make the day any better.

Yesterday, I spent a quiet day fielding tons and tons of Facebook greetings and doing laundry. In the evening, the Toxic Avenger took me out to dinner to a very nice restaurant. It was lovely, truly lovely.

I am happy. I feel blessed to have yet another year and of course I hope to have many, many more. I feel abundant and ready to take on whatever my path provides.
