Yesterday I celebrated with a most excellent group of friends. A very fun birthday :) Part of the fun was not having people recognize me with the new hair colour! Even my own mom...
Speaking of mom, she was being a bit of a trial last night. Pretty much par for the course. One of my friends saw that it was really getting to me and she said: "Cath, let it go - don't make this the hill you die on". What a fantastic way to put it. Immediately things got clearer and easier. God, it's cool to have smart friends.
Ah... where do I go from here? Does there need to be a next big thing , or can I just quietly follow the pursuits I have enjoyed this tremendous year. I think some time off might be warranted. This is really the first birthday I can remember where I haven't thought ok, this year I'm going to dot, dot, dot. I've done all the dot, dot, dots I set out to. I'm sure some overwhelming urge to do something will pop unbidden into my head but for right now I think a little "stay the course" is in order.
Here's a funny... even if you don't read the horoscope I'm gonna bet you pick it up on your birthday. You know the one: if today is your birthday blah blah blah. So I look at mine yesterday and amid all the other stuff it says, you may want to change your approach to diet and exercise. Well Hamilton Spectator syndicated horoscope column... you are day late and a dollar short :)
