Book 3, Chapter 7

A new chapter. A fresh start. New beginnings.

It's Book 3, Chapter 7 of my life story.

Happy 37th Birthday to me!

It's an interesting feeling surrounding this birthday. Other years I have enjoyed celebrating with friends and family, publicly if you will, yet this birthday felt more private to me, more personal. So here I am blogging about it! That's private & personal, don't ya think?! Anyway....my sweet husband had plans to invite friends over for cake, and when I found out I asked if we could skip that. Just an immediate family celebration please...and no cake, no not even a giant cinnamon bun, thanks anyway. Not that I wanted to skip the whole birthday business, I just wanted it to be quiet and introspective.

As this year, feels like a new chapter to me. A chapter of new, improved health. One of looking inwards and seeing results on the outside. Moving forwards in a healthier, happier, not so whiny way. Let's hope I can keep the momentum up for more than a day!

So, to celebrate my sister and I went out for our traditional birthday breakfast. That's what we do. A three hour breakfast sans enfants! Now, that's a treat. Then it was home to lunch, an In-Home Parent Educator visit, naps...and oh yes, we all napped....then off to dinner with Favorite Husband...again without the children. Can a day be any more gifted than this?

Oh yes, as in the garage waiting for me is a shiny....new .... red....cruisin'....bike (no not a corvette!). A retro style of bike with a seat built for ladies' bottom, tall handle bars, and all. No white walls though*sigh*.

Can't you just see me gliding along with gerbera daisies in the basket and a bottle of something refreshing? It'll be so fun! Hopefully soon there will be a chariot to bring the Littles along too.

So, here it is the beginning of B3C7. I look forward to a year of positive change and all the rewards that come with it.
