Happy April (almost May), friends!
If April is your birthday month, I'm sending you a virtual hug and high five! We did it! Also…cheers to 46 and another trip around the sun. Birthdays to me are another way to show gratitude, and I am so grateful to have a birthday to celebrate and to be healthy.
I read somewhere that 47 is the most unhappy age, so I’ve already started some woo-woo sh*t to get that bad energy out of the way. I have no time for that! LIFE IS A GIFT. Period, end of story. Yes, I’m an optimist, but come on! Why wouldn’t we be overJOYed with having a birthday? I don’t need much or big parties for my birthday, but some quality time with my friends and family, and a scheduled slow day (on the actual day), and I’m a happy girl.
As I like to do in our Joyful Journals, I have rounded up some of my favorite things – BIRTHDAY EDITION.
