There was some birthday card-saying-thing recently that basically said "if your dreams are small they will be granted". I dream of winning the Lotto and fantasize about what I would do with all that money but truthfully I know that it will never happen to me. But in keeping with the small things concept I believe that my life has become the jackpot.
I had a great time with my 4 closest friends on Friday night (actual birthday). Then I had more folks over on Saturday. I feel so wonderful inside when everyone is in my house, kicking back, talking and talking (and eating and eating....). Watching the love and relationships that exist is so wonderful and fulfilling. On Sunday the grandparents were here and had fun although Mabel did cause some stress it was not the focal point.
Tonight I went back to work at API and was presented with an Ice Cream Cake, sung Happy Birthday to and received a stunning Orchid all dressed in a lovely pot. Everyone signed the card and my supervisor made me a very personal gift (a laniard is a break-away beaded chain to hang your badge on). I have worked there for 4 months and this was way more than I had expected.
I would love to be skinny and in perfect health, but that is probably just a bit more attainable than the Lotto. I have a dog who loves me unconditionally, people respect and care for me at work. I have friends who will babysit the old girl so I can take trips. I have a daughter and a son-in-law who are intelligent and self supporting and kind. I have a home that is warm and comforting and has "me" in every (almost every) room. I guess on the grand scheme of things I am pretty much a winner, blessed, fortunate. Whatever word you would want to use, it all seems to result in contentment.
