31

So here I am! Past midnight- (Hallucinogen presentation just finished) and laughing over good old times with friends who keep calling to tell me I am loved and thought of... in so many ways.

I am blessed is what I think... (in the brief respite from the ringing of the phone).... I am lucky and I am blessed. I have love. All forms of it. And so much of it that once again my cup overfloweth....

I am 31 today.
And after the stressful (tongue in cheek) decision of deciding whether I was going to stay 30, turn 32 and skip 31 altogether, or actually turn the dreaded 31 (ack!)
(30 is a great number! 32 sounds distinguished... 31 is just sort of "there" not very psychedelic- and yes I use that word because of the recent hallucinogenic research... and no... I did not use :P I merely read and wrote! Get your heads out of the gutter!!)I HAVE decided to turn 31.

And I am very excited I might add. Life is good. Life is great!

Today started with Bubba Jee's beautiful face and her unsuppressed excitement because she and Mrs. Smith and Rebbecca have a surprise planned for me for tomorrow- sshhhhh... she doesn't know I know ;)She could barely contain herself all day. I have an angel in my life. Yes I am blessed...

Then came flowers- roses...red, a cuddly bear and candy! Always beautiful.. Always touching! It never ceases to amaze me how my vase is always full! Yup!
I am blessed...

Throughout the day, I got little gifts... smiles and texts and "I love you's"... songs, "Peera" (while at the salon! with color in my hair! yes i heard peera!)... and laughter... voices I love... hearts that love... people I cherish... all around me.... all my family
Yes, I am blessed...

A little note. So beautiful. It touched my heart...
Facebook messages
E mails
Phone calls...

I was called OWLY again! What a treat.
Kaniggit called- how sweet!

I was put on speaker phone to speak with a biker, with long hair, who plays the blues!! (Yaya!!) Who promised to eat curly fries just for me ;) to celebrate my "short" curly hair... who told me of Lush Pash! I am Lush Pash...

And then... at the very moment... the hour... the minute... I heard a voice. Your voice...
So dear. So near. So true. So you.......
What better way to start the year, than with you. I love you!

For who you are- I love you
For who you can be- I love you
For simply being- I love you
For loving me- I love you
For how you make me feel- I love you
For words that were real- I love you
For "jaan"- I love you

...

Yes, 31 looks to be a good year!
