Day 4
Art time with friends.
There was also a little snacking, kitty chasing and egg decorating involved.
As a side note, tomorrow is my birthday.
I have been avoiding this fact for more than a week.
Bypassing my birthday is not my norm.
In past years, I have been known to throw myself a birthday party or two.
I love any excuse to eat cake and receive gifts.
Aging has nothing to do with it, because I honestly don't give a hoot.
All told, I have earned the privilege of turning 31.
Having a birthday so close to New Year's makes me really assess the previous year.
On my birthday, I always set objectives for the coming year.
Other people start their resolutions on January 1; I start my resolutions on January 5.
After analyzing my previous year, it was a little, well, sad.
Previous years may have appeared more challenging on the surface, but 2011 took a licking to me.
Each time I picked myself up and put on a sunny disposition, I got knocked right back down.
I am stubborn, and I don't give up without one-he** of a fight.
I am also not naive, and I feel more and more cautionary about my choices.
Even with all my learning and enlightenment, I have the nerve to make the EXACT SAME goals as last.
A little more time with my husband.
A little more baby in our home.
Despite all my efforting,
(please note that I know "efforting" is not an actual word, but a created word commonly used in our home)
not one of those goals/wishes/fantasies came true.
The thought of another year of the same seems daunting.
Do you see why I wish to refrain from 31?
Not forever, just until I am done being 30.
Can that be my birthday wish?
