To my January B-day Buds (you know who you are, A & A):
A few mottos for your 25th years. Hopefully they ring as true now as the first time you heard em...
(From Regina Brett's 45 Life Lessons)
1. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
2. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
3. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful, or joyful.
4. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion, today is special.
5. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
6. Get outside everyday. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
7. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
These lessons apply to all us non-birthday-batches, too. Let's resolve to get up every morning, take a deep breath, change the sheets on our beds to the fancy-shmancy silky ones, dress ourselves to the 9s (perhaps in purple), and toss out those P.O.S. slippers that soak up every drop of moisture on the floor while heading outside for a walk (a bite of chocolate in our pockets for later).
Sounds like a fabulous life, no?
I hope you 2 birthday girls (and the rest of us, too) have the brightest and best year!
“Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever. And we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.” --Richard Bach
