birthday love

On the first Sunday of this month, I woke up in a suite with windows that gave me a 180 view of a body of water, in the bathroom was a soaking tub (I dream of waking up in my own bedroom that provides a view of a beautiful body of water then walking to my bathroom with a claw footed tub to soak until my skin shrivels up like a raisin). In the adjoining rooms next to the living room of the suite, some of my closest friends slept as I reflected on several days of birthday love. Those four, along with several others who know my dreams, gifts and passions gave me the luxury of staying in the suite along with so many other surprises that I lost count of the happy tears that came to my eyes as friends who had flown, drove or took the train arrived in varying intervals to join in three days of festivities. I was amazed that so many women had managed to keep so many secrets from me; they had been planning for months under the direction of my BFF. I was deeply touched and giddy!

This Sunday morning as I sit in reflection of birthdays past, this past one is at the top of the list of Best Birthdays Ever. I am most fortunate to have a group of women, both friends and my sisters, who love me enough to ensure that I started my own personal New Year feeling loved, cared about, and special. I thank them.

So cheers to enduring friendships and more birthdays to come, not just mine…theirs too!

keep your peepers open!

ps...what happened in the suite and the many other places we went stays with us, so the best I can do is share a picture of cake and ice cream 😉
