"don't know where I'll be tomorrow," but today is great

In contrast to my last birthday, I was actually happy this year - not just happier.

Last year I thought that somehow I was doing great... I guess you take what you can get. But unlike last year, this year I didn't cry, or smoke cigarettes (I have quit!!!) and I also woke up not alone, but with my little family - Karin and Katrina - and they had fixed me a surprise breakfast to celebrate. Karin got me a Journey DVD (some exquisite live videos - my favorite are the ones in the 70s where Steve wears white pants, and Neal is sporting a beautiful 'fro).

Emma came up from Philadelphia for a short visit involving late hours, a sweaty hot Brazilian night club, a terrific Brazilian band, Forro Dancing and lots of fun and laughing. I love my siblings, and I missed the two in Ca.

As usual, it was a chance for me to re-evaluate my life and goals. I have come a long way, but it is time to take things to the next level I know that next year this time is going to be phenomenal. Meet you here, same time next year!!
