Birthday musings....
I had a wonderful dinner with friends last night ( http://www.fogodechao.com/ ), they weren't just friends, they were some of the people I've chosen as family. It was nice, quiet, good food, and while they did tell the waitstaff it was my birthday celebration, they didn't do the hokey off key restaurant birthday songs, they simply put a candle in my flan and drizzled the words Happy Birthday on my plate. Much nicer than the dreaded waitstaff birthday song :)
So today I turn 34. Over all it seems like not that big a thing. Yeah there are moments when I go "OMG what am I doing with my life?" I haven't done half the things I thought I was going to. But... I'm feeling ok with that. I like most of my life, and while there are always what if moments, I'm pretty confident that I've made the right decisions for myself. There are things I'm not happy about, mostly my diet and exercise choices, and those I can work on. In fact my birthday gift to myself is to recommit myself to working on those habits that are harmful to myself.
I love my friends, I love my family. I have been very very lucky in my life.
