Day 108 - 2012 Birthday Week

It is my birthday week.  Doesn't feel like it.  Yes I am taking off, but the older I get the more I do not care about my birthday.  Mainly due to me forgetting my age most days. I forget a lot the older I get.  I no longer want to be center of attention (I know crazy right?).  I just want a peaceful week and I want to spend the day with some of the people that mean the most to me, eating a very yummy meal at my fave seafood place! No big party, no large dinner with too many friends, just a small quaint yummy meal with some of my fave people.

I had contemplated doing a backyard get together but my backyard needs help. LOL it is quite a sight! I call it eclectic.. others may not but tomato tomato :)

Sometimes I wish I was that girl again, the one who was all about ME and celebrating ME.  Sometimes a glimpse of that girl comes through, and I squash her. I am happy being in the background now. I do not mind stepping up when needed, but I really enjoy sitting back and watching things.  So as much as I am thankful I have amazing friends who want to celebrate me, I am also thankful I no longer feel the need to celebrate me.  I am thankful I can celebrate me all year long by staying true to who I have become and by surrounding myself with people who love me in spite of me!
