So, yeah. The last week has been a bit mad. I did say this was going to happen, that I would have an insane schedule<\/a>. Well, yeah. I’ve had barely enough “lonely time”<\/a> to sit and just be. Birthday celebrations, a trip to BKK, and extra events at school. But don’t worry — I’ve already decided that I’m not getting out of this. I will still post. In fact, I will post extra to make up for what I’ve missed. So… I owe you (me?) 7 posts. I may have to double up, but they will get written. I have so much to say! <\/p>\n Tonight, for now… I thought I’d reflect a bit on birthdays — appropriate seeing as that’s when it all fell apart in terms of posting to this blog. Heh. Last Thursday, exactly a week ago, was my birthday. It was wonderful<\/strong>. I am so blessed to have such kind and thoughtful and generous and FUN friends who cared enough to come out for a laugh and a drink with me last Thursday. <\/p>\n I love birthdays — and not just my own. I love celebrating birthdays of all people. I love them because each one signifies one more year that I (or you) have been on this earth. I see a birthday as a true celebration of life, because not all of us will be here for our next birthday. So if you are here for it, it’s a true reason to jump for joy and live it up.<\/strong> As much as I grumble about getting older, my goal is to accumulate as many birthdays as possible. I want to keep being here!<\/p>\n I have had some interesting birthdays. Most have been spectacular, but not all. I’m not going to list them all here (dear gawd, that would be way too revealing!), but rather reflect on a few significant ones. <\/p>\n I’ll leave it at that for now… I can’t give away every birthday memory at once. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I know some of you reading have been with me for birthdays that I haven’t mentioned above. Please know that I’m thinking of you RIGHT NOW. \ud83d\ude42 You know who you are. If you’ve spent a birthday with me, I think of you as someone with keys to my heart, as birthdays are special… therefore you are too!<\/p>\n And regardless of if you’ve spent one birthday with me or many, recent or long ago — I really<\/strong> want to say THANK YOU<\/strong>. Thank you for making it memorable. Thank you for being with me as I “cheers”ed another year. Thank you for being in my life! And I do hope you’re around for many more of both of our birthdays!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, so I am way behind, eh?
