Birthday 2012
It seems as though I might have missed a year or two of these entries and I am a week late but here we go.
A lot has changed in the last year. I am divorced. I live in the Chicago area. I own a condo and a cat. I completed my first comic book. And I have a whole new circle of friends, closer than ever.
The day before my 51st birthday, I had a party to celebrate all this. They are special people, these friends. They came to help me celebrate not only by attending but by chopping, shopping, cooking and battling errant food processors. There was wine and hugs and friends meeting other friends. This year, "Happy Birthday" was sung to me and birthday wishes extended. This year, people who valued me and my talents gathered and wished me well.
I am living alone with my cat but I feel more supported now than I have in years. I may actually realize that you don't have to be a superhuman to be loved and appreciated - just being you is enough.
I am happy I was able to welcome these friends in to my new home.
