Maybe that quote doesn't really work when you're not 10 anymore....
I woke up feeling so cheerful and happy. I don't know if it's just because it's my birthday or if it's something else altogether. Whatever it is, I hope it lasts.
I've had birthday greetings coming in via text and FaceBook since just before midnight last night. It's meant so much to me that people have taken the time to drop me a note. Some of my former students have said very sweet things, better really than any gift. It's nice to know they remember me, that what I gave them is still something they value.
Today itself was a wonderful day. I slept late, had lunch at Olive Garden with my parents (eggplant Parmesan...yay,yay,yay), and then my Mom and I went junkin'. I found a beautiful wooden box for my handkerchiefs and a couple of other things as well. Mom took a picture of me in a silly hat at the antique mall. It has been a thoroughly peaceful day.
Tomorrow will be a return to "the real world." I'm going to fight to hold on to this feeling though. Maybe it's finally mine for keeps.
