Its My Birthday!!

I shut off my phone and avoided Facebook all day. Not sure which is worse, not having your phone ring at all on your birthday, or slogging through a bunch of meaningless conversations with people who only remember you when Facebook sends them a birthday notification.

Anyhoo, not to be ungrateful, tomorrow I will dutifully thank all those who took the time to share well-wishes.

Actually it wasn't a bad day.  I'm at a low point in my circumstances right now and by all rights I should be acutely depressed today as I have been for weeks.  But I'm not.

I'm healing, facing emotional wounds and working through them.  Hobllign through it sometimes, but making progress.  I still believe that physical healing will come when the spirit is what it used to be.

I give myself a pat on the back for making it through another rough year.  And I'm still standing .. well mostly lying down but the fighting spirit does not seem to quit.

And I love sharing this moment with you my DS friends, because you know how special it is to have a birthday where you're not crashed and not out of your mind depressed.

48 and counting, 49 here I come...
