every year is a gift
In a few days, I will turn 41.
I will be offline, hanging out at one of my favourite places in the world. I am not sure how peaceful it will be (we will be there with four adults, two kids, two puppies and a grown up dog) but I know it will be happy.
Last year my birthday was a very big deal. My friends and co-workers pooled their resources and sent me to BlogHer in
This year I am happy to have things be much lower key. I am feeling pretty lucky these days.
In January, I acknowledged to myself that there were two things I really wanted this year, to attend BlogHer in
That’s a lot. And it’s enough.
Especially when I realize that every birthday marks another year that I have been alive in this beautiful world. Another year surrounded by people I love and in which I have the chance to learn and grow and become stronger.
I have been feeling a little off balance lately, tired and frustrated and somewhat overwhelmed. It’s good to have a birthday to remind me again how lucky I am. And with four clean scans now under my belt, I hope to have lots more chances to celebrate my birthday.
Now that’s not to say that I don’t want a little cake with a few candles and some home made cards from my kids (and I did treat myself to a facial before I left for SF). Even a low-key birthday needs to be celebrated.
I'll be back online on August 11th.
