You may or may not know- my birthday was Sunday. I turned 42, which I don’t mind saying, because I know I don’t look 42- (what does 42 look like anyway). It was also Samantha’s last day, so I spent my birthday with two of my favorite people- Marcel and Samantha. I didn’t celebrate in the traditional sense, but later this week, Thursday to be exact, I’ll be celebrating again with Hein and Desere with a dinner out. I’ve just got to figure out which restaurant we’re going to. At this point, I have no idea. The company will be good, and that’s ultimately what matters anyway.
A friend wished me a great upcoming year, and I responded with that I was expecting great things, and I am. I have been noticing a change in myself for some time now, and I feel my life taking a different turn- a turn that is only going to bring greater things into my life than I’ve already been experiencing.
Some may call that wishful thinking, or even dreaming- I call it positive thinking- expect great things and great things will happen. In fact- they already are.
I’m in the process of playing catch-up both around the house and on the computer, so bare with me if I owe you an email or some sort of correspondence. I’m late with several birthdays- none of which I’ve forgotten, but I’m behind schedule- it happens to the best of us.
Expect more regular entries from me in the near future, but right now, I could use a bath. I’m still trying to get back in the swing of things after Samantha’s visit. She and I couldn’t seem to get to bed before 1 each night, and on many nights it was pushing 2 or even 3. It was great, and I’d do it again in a second. Next trip- I think we’re going to Prague.
