Happy Birthday to me and my blog
Two years ago tomorrow I started this blog. I started it after being prodded by my daughter, and also because I needed to do some self evaulating, some introspection on my life. Now, I don't put my innermost thoughts on here, because it is, after, viewable to the public. But I think it has helped me think about my life. And I like sharing the good things with the people I love.
I think people will understand me better if they know me better. Steven Covey said, "seek first to understand, then to be understood." I love that advice.
Today is my birthday. I used to love my birthdays, love celebrating, love the attention, yes, even love the presents. Now I don't care about presents (except for the new sod in the front yard, I would still like that!) and I don't care about celebrating. I still like the attention, don't we all, but I'm finding birthdays to be a little depressing. It seemed like I just started this blog, but it's been TWO years. Wow. Time going by so fast is what is depressing. I have so much to do and nevermind... I will try not to dwell on the depressing parts of life. I will try think happy thoughts.
Happy thoughts:
I have lost more weight and am now in my target zone. I am officially not "overweight" anymore (for my body frame at least.)
I have made lots of new friends this year.
I have traveled to Europe.
I have earned more money than I ever have before with my flute stuff.
I have finished a semester of college. With straight A's to boot.
I have become a grandmother. (Now the label that goes with that is *old age* but the fun that goes with it can't be beat!)
I have a social life, with aforementioned friends. (If I go out to lunch with a friend my kids are like- "aww, you have a fwiend")
I have a great relationship with my kids, even if they do tease me. I tease them more. ha.
I have a new car!!!
and a cool new phone!!!
and a very supportive husband...
So I guess having a birthday is a good time to count blessings, and not count time.

Happy birthday, mom! You have done a lot in two years!
I was just reading your description of yourself there on the side of your blog. You must have written it when you started this blog, because now you need to add grandma!
