At 31... from rain to sunshine.

Bet there are people out there that didn't think I would make it to 31. I've been one of them. I did, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Seems old to some; young to others.

As I write, it's my birthday for 20 more minutes. The amount of awesome in this day cannot be measured. The thoughtfulness of my friends and family, and the reminder to strengthen my ties with them, to be responsible, to be steadfast, to act with right intentions...

That is what today has been about, in short.

I have been in a few different locations on my journey home. I felt a sense of relief once I arrived here. I got 2 REALLY unexpected gifts to the tune of WTF.

16 hour days until Monday now.

I appreciate all of you who have reached out to me in tough times. The past year brought a lot of adjustments. 31's been a good year so far and for the first time in forever I feel truly optimistic.

I hope this day lasts forever. The feeling of the awful rain at such an early hour gave way to nothing but sunshine. It was only a flight away.

Happy Birthday, Mariposa. You earned this one, big time.
 
You deserve all the good things coming your way, and more to boot! It sounds like it was a wonderful day, albeit at the beginning of a busy weekend.

The fun thing about 30s is that you finally start to have enough experience to actually generate a bit of wisdom. May you never stop learning, and may your kindness be returned to you threefold!

:)
