The Happy Birthday Song (Andrew Bird)

Each year on my birthday I start a new journal. Some thoughts from this year's:

1. Today I am 43.
2. Last year I was unhappily married, this year I am not.
3. Last year, I was speechless; this year, I'm so hoarse I can barely speak.
4. Some of the best presents were completely unexpected and received in the first hours after midnight.
5. One of the most touching gifts combined two of my loves: Argo Tea and yoga.
6. This is the first year Josh wrote "Mommy" on my card - all by himself, and from left to right.
7. I no longer hate my boobs.

If the way I began my 44th year is any indication of how the rest of it will go - it should be plenty of fun!

Thanks for a great class this morning, and all the warm wonderful wishes. You guys are the best!
