25

Today is my 25th birthday. Last night I was laying in bed thinking about birthdays, why we celebrate them and why mine is SUCH a big deal to me. I think celebrating a birthday is a celebration of life.

Today I will celebrate my life. I am very fortunate to have a healthy family, to be well myself, to have a place to live, to have people who love me, to get to do what I LOVE for my job – to be surrounded by yarn EVERY DAY!, to have the opportunity to grow and change and learn, to have found such a wonderful community of internet friends. I am lucky and today I rejoice in that.

I’m at the store today, the kids are with me and it’s dark and rainy outside. I LOVE weather like this. I’ve already had a nice sale to start the day. Later, my friend will come to visit me and we’ll start on a new knitting project (hopefully the cable eight top!). My birthday week celebration (I’m so spoiled!) will come to a close tomorrow with dinner with my friends.

It’s a good day and I think year 25 will be good to me.

    Congratulations! Twenty five is such a good number and you seem to be roaring into such a good place in your life. Have a great birthday and may today, like all the days until 26. be filled with friends, yarn, rainy days and sunny ones.

    Happy birthday!

    I told my husband yesterday that I’m looking forward to having a quarter life crisis and to expect me to do all sorts of wild and crazy things, like get something pierced, but wait, nevermind, I don’t pierce so well so it’ll have to be something else. But a crisisless 25 is fun too;)
