You know today was really great! : I woke up at 10 (after a bit of a sleep in) to the crew (Z, ed and george) bringing me a coffee, this cool power puff girls birthday card, a MATRIX dvd and a massage coupon. 10:02 I get up and notice some emails... : I got a call from my best RW buddie (actually, his wife... and he came on too). Then I saw my family for a b-day dinner. Next weekend my sis-in-law and I will co-celebrate birthdays with Z's family. That's typical and I enjoy the whole deal... : But add to that the 60 or so emails, dozens of special posts, and a dozen wonky internet greeting cards ... did I mention 60 plus emails?!!! - and I sit back and thing... holy gods I am the luckiest duck in the pond. : All over my little universe there are super nova explosions of good vibes and I'm practically being blinded from the light! : Thank you from the bottom of my goofy heart for the wonderful plus that has landed on this birthday. 39 is going down in the special book of pleasure that keeps my spirit 25!! : Note: I am once again being freaked by the realization that the complex relationships between friends on the friends list manages to exist with such diversity... so many of you don't know each other, yet when I see you, it is a group of friends standing in a line beside one another... as if you all knew one another before you met me. Sure, some of you... many of you are lj friend related, but still.. In fact, I went surfing Lj last night... when LJ was working... I'd click random, dive into that persons friends, pick somebody and look in their friends... In great huge lists of people, there were only a few hits against the recognition backboard. There are something like 53,000 registered journals. Awesome. : Thanks again. Reading your words and trying to understand your lives has truly enriched mine and I hope that the year to come continues to afford me this joy. :D
