lucky


today i turn 39 years old.
39 times around the sun.
i have earned every line, wrinkle and grey.
they are mine.
we woke to a blizzard, but i was served warm sugared donuts in bed by my family who loves me.
later we had a snowball fight and i climbed the snow plow hill and remembered what it felt like to be a kid.
i am blessed and loved and feel very lucky to be right where i am.
life has not always been easy, but it is mine and i am ever grateful for it all.

hello 39
lets do this.

Thank you for this. Not my birthday, or my number, but your sentiments have wedged themselves in my heart. Thank you.
