I am sometimes surprised how happy my birthdays are turning out to be - specially in the last 31 years.
But on a serious note, except for two episodes this year, regardless of stress factors, I have been very happy.
So, annual stock taking of blessings ensue:
friends, a job I enjoy, family slightly skewed but otherwise solid, Adeela, being unanimously voted "something else" by stoners inc., some looks on some days ( oh, a woman's got to have her moments) and a general sense of being absurdly alive.
Now all I have left to do is to catch up with my age.
