My birthday.

Today is my 46th birthday and I'm spending most of it by myself, which is a treat actually as my entire family, whom I haven't seen in over a year, will be arriving in Alberta tomorrow evening to spend a few days celebrating my eldest daughter's high school graduation.  This morning I'll be getting a temporary henna tattoo on my ankle by a lovely, lovely lady and then I'll spend the rest of the day reading and painting.  A perfect day.  Though I'm sorry to say I've developed a sensitivity to matcha tea, too much caffeine for my sensitive body, so I'll have to find a new favorite.  I feel grateful for so much...

**for two beautiful teenage daughters who still hold my hand
**for a husband who has been my grounding place (and who laughs at my terrible jokes) the past 24 years
**for a weekend of creativity
**for a loving, eccentric, happy extended family
**for delicious home-made soup and great art + artists at the Empty Bowls Festival on Saturday
**for birthday wishes from friends & family
**for a day without rain for a morning walk
**for a dining table big enough to share a meal with family & friends
**for words of wisdom through the Soul*Full Summit (I'll share more about that at the end of the month)
**for my community filled with happy people
**for changing seasons (even wet, cloudy ones)
**for 46 interesting, challenging, fulfilling years

Thanks Roxanne - and this past week we celebrated my daughter's graduation and then we will celebrate her 18th birthday, both happy and sad for me. Life is good, though, and I feel blessed.
