It's my birthday

It was pointed out to me that in my earlier blog I said yesterday was my birthday. Nope. It's today. I will chalk that up to lack of sleep and a congested brain.

Your birthday is a chance to celebrate yourself and enjoy life for what it is in that moment. At least that's what I'm declaring it to be. However, like most people, celebrating me is much easier said than done. So I decided that the best way of doing that would be to write a list of some of the things I like best in this world. Most of these have never before been on my Top Five List. It feels like maybe I've done this before, but one of the things I have to celebrate about myself when I'm being honest is that I am a little scatterbrained and have a really bad memory. (See first paragraph above) That's why I tell the same "had to be there" stories to some people and forget to tell important things to others. It is just me, but that doesn't mean I don't try to do better. This time, however, it's my birthday so I'm just not even going to try. Of course, you don't actually have to READ the list, but it's here all the same.
