Birthday Afterglow

“We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”

Marilyn Monroe

 After another wonderful birthday, I am still basking in the afterglow. From my perspective, birthdays are to be totally enjoyed and celebrated. It is a day all about me — what a treat! This is a relatively new perspective and I love it!!! Growing up, ‘all about me’ was selfish, or self-centered. Not anymore, now, it is a great thing especially on my birthday; a day to have fun, to play and to relish in exactly what I want to do, to eat and who I want to share it all with. Life is so good!

One of my favorite cards reads something like “Cheryl is willing to accept that she creates her own reality . . . except for some of the parts where she can’t help but wonder what the hell she was thinking.”   As I grow older, we all grow older really, I am becoming more and more aware that I really want to live fully, wide open actually. Yes, it is about creating our own reality, taking some risk, making some goofy decisions, learning along the way and still going for it the next time. 

That same old box has sprung wide open. This next year is bound to be a doozy, filled with fun, laughter, lots of joy, connecting with people and sharing the positive life while moving into even greater personal and professional success. what a gift life is.  Come on in and enjoy the fun!
