Birthday Blaze


I do not usually enjoy celebrating my birthday...for a myriad of reasons. All of them selfish. I want people to think of gifts to give me that I don't have to give input on. I don't want to have to tell people what would please me. I think I am easy.

I am often wrong.

This year was....very pleasing. First of all, I had amazing help unloading a dirty trailer. I got to have the first shower. I got fed lunch without having to cook it myself. and then....I was taken out shopping and to a movie. A whole afternoon of pleasure, pleasurable company, kindness, and no stress. Time with my dearest friend. And lovely gifts. Simple gifts. Gifts full of thought and fun.

Memories for a lifetime...simplicity...friendship...love.

Truly a day of celebration.

I had a good time with you too Momma. I love Mom and daughter days, and we got to double date too! How great is that?!

What day would you like to try again with the movies?
