Celebrating me!

Yes, it's that day again! Today, I will have completed the first year of the second half of my life or at least that is the way I like to look at it. Happy birthday, me!


Some of you might remember my post from last year on this day. Medha had had something rather profound to say then. This year? She couldn't remember whether my birthday was on the 1st or the 2nd. And quite honestly, it did not bother me. It's just another day, another reminder that time waits for nobody. In which case, it should have bothered me but given that I was rather happy with my warm sake, that depressing thought eluded me at the time.


The past year has been very interesting. There have been many changes and a fair amount of disturbing news; all of which I had thought would be difficult to get accustomed to. But one learns to pick up the important threads and weave them back into the fabric of life. Darning helps but there are some holes and rips that are so frayed that it is best to let go.

On a lighter note, I think that while I have grown as a parent, I have also grown more exasperated. Those of you with a hormonally charged tween will know what I mean!

There are no pearls of wisdom forthcoming from me today. I am happy and that, for me, is enough. I am off to celebrate the rest of the day with my family. Feel free to join in the celebrations and cook some goodies for me!

Yeah! Happy Birthday, me!
