make a wish...


I haven't had a good Monday in 4 months.
I also don't like Monday anymore (as you may have previously read)
So having my birthday fall on a Monday,  is a little bittersweet.

 I was very anxious about it. But I've always been one for "birthday weekends"... 
Having a holiday for a birthday (that most people my age like to celebrate)  makes it easy. 
I spend it with both family, friends and then with a margarita (or 2)

I made sure that I had an easy, awesome and happy plan made and said nothing and no one could ruin this weekend. I so desperately have wanted to smile, be carefree and feel good (even) just for a little while.  
I most certainly did JUST that! I celebrated with family and great friends this weekend. 
We laughed, we sang, we tasted wine, we indulged! 
  
I woke up to an alarm at 7:15 and I knew I would be snoozing... And I did til about 7:35! 
But I had a phone filled with missed calls, texts, a few voicemails and notifications!
I couldn't wait to read them ALL! 

Certainly an amazing way to wake up. I think most people would love it too and say I'm strange for being so excited BUT the last time I felt so much attention and love was a few months ago when my brother had passed. But this was a happy love and I am beaming!

The sun is shining today, I've received some amazing gifts. 
Some in wrapping, some in envelopes and some in the form of writing. 
 I never expected to feel as great as I did today, but I put it out there. 
I let myself be a little vulnerable, 
told myself that all good things will come and I prayed, a lot!

So happy to be feeling exceptionally and extremely happy today!
I have much more to share but the day is still going... <3
