speaking of my birthday, it was just this past sunday. march first.

it’s a good day to have a birthday.

not that i had much of a say in the matter. i now know so many people who share this birthday it’s not even funny. like katie and christine. even this last birthday a new little one joined the club as a friend just had a baby girl.

my nanabapa gave me a photo once long ago as a card, i have it to this day, with a horoscope taped to the back. it was more of a “if you’re born on this day” type thing than a horoscope. anyway it said some pretty reflective things about march first babies that i think really hold true. to my personality and interests at least. cool, huh?

anyway, my birthday was spent simply and very nicely with family and friends. mase made breakfast, my lifer treated me and the girls to some fun family-style yoga, the girls and I napped and snuggled and we met up at los chicos brasa with my mom and siblings (well, most of them) for dinner followed by some yummy treats at home.

thanks for the soup, saj!

some have asked me, do you feel older? or how does it feel to be… gasp!.. 34? to me it’s just a number. i don’t feel it. in my heart at least.

young heart old soul.

my body is getting older. and that’s just the way it goes. so i’m very cool with that. what i love about getting older is the wisdom it has afforded me. i feel so comfortable in this skin of mine now, and that likely has something to do with the fact that i’ve been sitting in it for so long! i’m more at ease with my decisions, relaxed about my chosen path, and happy with my various roles for the most part. although i’m still working out the kinks a little (aren’t we all?), i feel so good. i know what i want more and more and and what is important to me and i really believe that is the special treat that comes with age and experience. one of my favourite toronto bloggers, coco, wrote a post about aging recently. it seemed to have come at the perfect time! read more here.

for those of you who hoped for it, thank you. it was a good day.
