This year my birthday feels a little more like thanksgiving - looking back and looking ahead I am bubbling over with gratefulness for this lovely life:
For the pretty little girl sleeping in my arms
For being able to stay home and drink her in
For R who is a naturally exceptional father
For our family and friends who have been so generous with their time and love
For this house that keeps us safe and warm in the howling night time winds
For the sun that has started to shine after a long wet spring
For the travel and adventures that lay ahead of us this summer
And so, in celebration, I am giving myself many gifts this year:
More picnics
More fresh wildflowers
More outside and more sunshine
More evening peppermint tea
More deep breaths
More homemade
More love
Happy birthday to me indeed!
