3+3=Happy Me

Every year, my day of birth brings me a great deal of anxiety. I typically plan a big party, bake a ton of mini cupcakes and have several little traditions of making the day special.  I like to write thank you cards to everyone. It's a handwritten grateful gratzie that allows me to feel like I'm doing something nice for people on a day when I may not be able to handle the kindness that comes my way.  I like to hand out mini cupcakes with candles and have everyone wish together (I got to do this!) but new things happened: like having someone get me a cake! I can't remember the last birthday that this happened...but it was wonderful and lovely and happy. This year I was totally sick (apparently the affliction of Taurus' are throat and neck issues. Maybe this explains my twice annual laryngitis episodes..). and didn't plan a darn stinking thing. Lucky for me, I happen to have a wonderful boyfriend who put something together with all my favorite neighbor peeps. I am beyond lucky in my life. I'm so fortunate to have so many wonderful people surrounding me at all times and making my life great.
