Appreciation

There is one component of my birthday week that I deeply appreciate. I absolutely adore that my family and friends call or email or text or send cards to let me know that they remember me. Its like a great big tidal wave of love. Mostly fueled by estrogen. My grandma, my aunts, my mom, my sister, and my girlfriends. (And my stepdad. He is the token boy. Everybody has got to have one.) Its pretty terrific. So I just wanted to take this opportunity to say, "thank you. I love you, too."
