Another Year...(sigh)

Birthdays are a mixed blessing.

Its great to have my day. A day to celebrate my existence. How cool is that?

It is also a great opportunity for reflection. My 32nd year was a year of many changes. Mark and I finally made the move I had been too cautious to make. Letting go of Oakland and many of the possessions we had amassed turned out to be quite liberating. I'm loving it here in Volcano. The change in pace suits us well.

On the other hand, I am a year older than I was just yesterday. Bummer.
There doesn't seem to be a way to get around that.
Wrinkles are multiplying. Grey hairs are just around the corner. Gravity is setting in.

Mahalo for all the birthday wishes. The day wouldn't be the same without sharing it with my friends and family.
