First of all I want to Thank all of you that wished me a good day, coming here after work and finding your messages was so very nice. I love all of you.
Judian, your so sweet to remember, your message made me ;D...your too much, I have never been so honored to be "ganged" up on.
My day well it was ok, I really am in such shock that it can actually be November already that I think I have trouble even admitting that today was my Bday.....it was nothing special, I didn't get any cards in the mail (got some ecards from a few INTERNET friends), I didn't get any phone calls, the people in my family chose to ignore me...but you know what....I am ok with that this year. Really I am.
I guess knowing what to expect this year was easier than having to guess. I KNEW that my family wouldn't be acknowledging my existence so when they didn't well it wasn't a big deal. Birthdays were often forgotten when I was a child.
The people that matter the most to me (my children and my SG family) remembered me and that all that matters to me these days.
Michelle came home last night and gave me some nice photo albums with a picture of her and I in the cover and pictures of our trip to NYC. I hadn't seen these pictures so it was a nice surprise. She made me a beautiful card. Bryan surprised me with a little Carvel Ice cream cake tonight and a card he made me.
THats all I needed to make me happy. I am choosing to not let "those People" upset me anymore, its just not worth it, I don't need them and I think I may finally be making peace (at least today!!!) with the fact that they aren't a part of my life anymore...thier loss....
I know Judian...I can feel you beaming right now as your reading this!!!!
So another year older and hopefully a whole lot wiser. Feeling good that I didn't let this day drag me down!
Here is the picture that Michelle gave me
