Gratitude

Today I am thankful for amazing friends

who didn't let a certain someone spend her 35th birthday by herself
while her husband was away on business.

I am equally thankful for friends who wanted to, but couldn't 
make it on such short notice.

I am thankful for the love I am surrounded by
and for the abundance of blessings in my life.

I am also thankful for French wine.

I am thankful for the birthday wishes I was showered with
all day long on my facebook wall. Seriously.

I am thankful for the sweet thoughtfulness of unexpected gifts.

My kind of soap
Black olives and Syrah.
My 2 favorite things thrown into a soap. How perfect.

Portrait by Delilah
Portrait of me painted by the ever-incredible Delilah.
I love how she has me standing in a field of poppies.
This will be cherished.


35 years, and just keeps getting better.


I love my life.
I Love My Life. 
I LOVE MY LIFE.
