Just Add Cake
Sometimes it feels like there are so many things I want that I don’t have.
Today I realized very little is missing. August 3rd is my day. It’s not my favorite day of the year, not even my favorite month. But on August 3 I celebrate the day I was born and every year I’ve managed to stay alive. And I didn’t want anything today that I didn’t already have. I didn’t need time off from work or a trip out of town or stuff. I didn’t need more or different friends than the ones I have. I didn’t need a book deal in order to love the fact that I write. I didn’t need someone else to load the dishwasher (though I did have Pizza Hut cook). I didn’t need a newer house or richer clothes, and I didn’t even need my short, dark hair to grow.
Apparently I find life pretty close to perfect. Shelter, income, love – even want, in doses. I’m grateful for it all. And it’s all exactly enough.
Just add cake.
Mmmmm cake! I love your hair! You are so beautiful and you are glowing! What a wonderful day.
Happy Birthday!! And I realize I actually CHOSE to cut my hair off but I LOVE your cute, dark hair. May your next year be full of good health.
A good place to be.
Just add cake, indeed. Sounds like a great day.
I’m so glad someone got you a cake. That was totally missing.
I love this post and this picture! A picture speaks a 1000 beautiful words. I wish I could get my hair styled like yours and rock it out like you do, its *so* cute.
Thank you dolls for the compliments and sweetness.
