Today is my birthday.  So far, it is a series of celebrations beginning with a lazy start to the day hanging out in cover forts with the kitties.  The delicious cold air waiting for us just outside of our warm cocoon.  Marvelous.

I am so incredibly lucky.  Lucky to have a bed, lucky to share my life with so many wonderful people and animals, lucky to have lived 56 years.  They haven't all been stellar but they have made me who I am.

So thank you universe!  Thank you for giving me this stupendous opportunity!
