1. My 38th Birthday tomorrow (March 22nd). I am cogniscent that at 38 years of age, the son of my good friends in NYC lost his life in the WTC. He will forever be 38. That makes the breath in my lungs and the beating of my heart all the more special.

2. My life partner.. everyday he teaches me how to be in a relationship

Your new blog banner is awesome, my dear.
~ I just woke up and am having my coffee... and I feel like it will be a great day.
~ Taking time to tend to myself, my family, my house - much needed time - fills my soul with happiness.
~ Coming to the realization that if the state of the economy affects my family the way that I'm scared it will - that I am ok with whatever comes our way - as long as we are healthy and together. That thought alone calms my fears.
~ My daugther made a clay pot at school that sits in my china cabinet wher I plan to keep it forever.
~ Pizza, soda, and cake. (What my diet consisted of on this birthday party weekend).
Wishing you a good Sunday. xo
