Contemplating Another Birthday

My birthday for 2013 is fast approaching.  For the last three years that day has marked a nosedive in my mood.  This year I'm cautiously optimistic that I can mark my birthday without too much obsessing about what "should" be, and accept and treasure what is.
 
My life is not a Hallmark movie, and I wonder why I think it should be like that!  I'm definitely not a perfect person, and God did not promise me a picture-perfect life.  I have many blessings, and I will strive to concentrate on them and taking care of myself.  Hope that works!  Lol!

Oh, boy, when is your birthday, I want to be involved. I want to be able to remind you on that day, that your life has been a blessing to others including me and those nasty little EC. You are a woman of grace, courage and dignity and I am blessed with your friendship. Wish you were close, we could celebrate at the spa;) But in any case, don\'t just \"take care of yourself\", pamper yourself. You deserve it;)

A big hug to you! I will write another journal entry on my birthday, my birthday is Sunday. So far I\'m holding steady. I am determined not to let ES run my life anymore!
