birthday flowers and candleIt is a Null Geburtstag for me. I’ve been reminded today that I am a very lucky person in life and that I should keep in mind that home is where the heart is. I feel very blessed to be touched by such kindred folk who spread warm, positive thoughts such as these.
So on my birthday. I’ve painted my toes red, put on mascara because at this age, I’ll admit, I need the extra help *wink*.
Then I’ve set my sights to send out more job applications even though getting a letter or email with the word leider has gotten old rather quickly, still the ever-thinking Alex is urging me on. He’s a hero to me.
In the worst case I’ve applied to new schools since distance learning is proving to be a leap too great for me to bound. Although, I’ve been deemed too old to be a student, so there’s a need to update my health insurance. I suppose this is the age when you are required by society to squeeze a bun out of the oven so better to tax now than at the time it happens.
And it is still a waiting game for the future of my European driver’s license, we’re holding bedtime lessons on the physics of a manual transmission car.
My knee aches less and less after 3 months since my ACL repair, but still lets me know when I do too much. The scar is healing nicely as is the bone beneath, which is now tender to a strong touch.
I’ve been pulled in so many directions, that it feels like I only give 20 percent to anything I attempt and it’s no wonder the goal(s) lie(s) on the horizon. A birthday comes around again and you think, “Gee, where has the time gone?” It is easy to get discouraged. Disappointed.
So things haven’t turned out as planned. Still there is always time for optimism no matter where it comes from. I got a phone call from a friend and she wished me a happy birthday. The next thing I know after explaining that the priorities of the world are all a muck, that good friend sets up a little, last-minute, evening get-together at a café for cake and wine. Now the world is just perfect. It can’t get any hard than it already is. I just won’t allow it.
Here’s looking forward to my first year in my thirties.
