I sat in the dark this morning and prayed. I wanted to start out my twenty fourth year right. It was so peaceful. Sitting in the living room at the sun began to peak out, silently taking inventory of all of my many blessings.
I started my morning out with a apricot croissant for breakfast and arrived at work to find a gigantic cookie and some vanilla bean truffles on my desk. I think I’ll splurge on a salted caramel hot chocolate later today and round out my sugar coma nicely. :)
During our staff meeting this morning, I mentioned that I wouldn’t really be seeing Mike at all today – he works all day and then has class until 9 – my boss said, “Welcome to being an adult.”
Low key is actually how I like it – no big crazy parties or extravagant, expensive presents. No “birthday girl” hat and huge balloons on my cubicle. Nope. I like to think I’m mature enough to handle my birthday just being a day. (We’ll see how that goes….)
Instead of just wishing me a happy birthday – mind telling me your favorite way to relax? What do you like to do to unwind and recharge yourself? I’m curious.
*Reference to a wonderful Switchfoot song. My birthday present can be you watching it, okay? :)
