The image of a dress and other graceful thoughts for a grown-up birthday girl.
I am grateful to see one more April.
This time, instead of fighting it, I’m stepping into it. Gently. Gracefully.
This year is coming on like a new exquisite dress.
Just my size, and made just for me.
Each pearl cost me a lesson.
It has a gem for every joy, and is stitched together with courage and grace.
I will wear it proudly because it has cost me my entire life to get to see it today.
As I start my next trip around the sun, I’m ready for it.
Eyes wide open. Heart wide open. Mind right.
This will be my best year yet and I can’t wait to see it.
Life can be messy; but it is also so rich and so good and still teaching me and molding me and refining me through trials and lessons and adversity; sculpting me into my true form, chipping away everything else.
I’m almost her, the ultimate me. One year closer. I can’t wait to meet her. And I hope she likes to drink coffee and to overuse metaphors just like me!
