Early birthday morning moments wowed me this year. Maybe it was because 60 really does feel like a milestone. Maybe it was because I was home to celebrate. To be honest, this place wows me every day. I discovered that Tuesday's rain left tiny birthday presents everywhere.
It was a day of gifts. Many of them were gifts that you could see and touch. But most were feelings; home, friendship, love, gratefulness, sharing, and support. It is still incredible that this is my life. I always wonder how this happened to me.
I came home in May after 18 months away. Being gone all that time, I'd come to realize that it was important to recapture my life here before the storm. Josie and Patrick hosted an amazing birthday party. My friends came together to celebrate me. And then Jean said it: "It feels like old times." Ah, recapturing success!
