I love my birthday. Not the presents necessarily, although I love to see how other people see me and the things that they think should be in my life. I love getting through another year; it's similar to the excitement of New Year's Eve. It is another chance to look at all of the things I have done and learned, the places I have been, the people I have met... a slight pause to reorient myself. At the end of each May I get to begin another year with a blank slate. This year my birthday came seven hours early because of the time difference and, in my head, it ended seven hours later, too. The lyrics that wouldn't quit running through my head were a little unsettling "...bye, bye miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry... good ol boys drinking whiskey and rye... singing this will be the day that I die...". I spent the day working and telling everyone who would listen that it was my birthday and loving the two besos for birthday luck. Jess and I made mexican dinner for all of our roomies ended the night perfectly with a phone call from mom and the boys. Starting off my 23rd year with such a blank slate that all I know for certain is that I should be landing around 7:00pm in the States. From there, I will see where this year takes me. I hope it includes a new president, a trip to Mexico and a job. Other than that, come next May, I will begin again. On the lookout for gray hairs... I could benefit from looking wiser. Love to all of you who are have been, are in and will be in my life... you make it worth it. xox cr |
