So mothers be good to your daughters too...

The sun was so bright this morning...it made it hard for Allison and me to take a photograph...but it sure was fun to keep trying.
LOVE being with my daughter!

It's my HALF birthday...

So, here we are at November 19th...again. It's the halfway point of my birthdays each year and it's the one day on which I have never failed to journal.
I always take a little time to look back at where I was on my birthday this year...who I was with, what I was thinking about, and where I have come from since then.

It's actually very interesting to look back at May 19th this year. I received 'Happy Birthday' phone calls from two of my aunts that day, both whom have since died. I spent the day with a girl friend who is no longer part of my life. I was beginning a friendship with a man...that lasted until last week. I had an amazing 'Dutch Baby' pancake for breakfast and chips and guacamole with a Margarita for dinner. (Come on, I never forget the really important stuff!)
And then, each November 19th, I can't help but wonder where I will be six months from today, on the next May 19th. Who will I spend that day with? Who will I be thinking about and talking to? Who will be part of my life that day and gone within the next six months? And, most importantly, will there be pancakes and chips, guacamole and Margaritas involved?
Oh yes...thankfully, some things can be counted on year after year.
Celebrating and reflecting today...
and staying OH SO curious about the future.

Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms...
