Less than 48 hours...

So here's the thing with counting down...it creates excitement as well as anxiety. I have a feeling I am putting WAY too much pressure on myself to magically walk into my 40's with some sort of trumpets blaring, flags waving, and with an entourage....what I need to be is this...

That isn't me and I don't even know where that person is...but that's what I want to feel like....not necessarily like the kid in the candy store that I am feeling right now...

AND...as much as I love weather observation, I was really looking forward to a warm birthday. Now there is a winter storm watch. Really? My mother reminds me that it was snowing when I was born (ppppbbbthhhh - is that how you designate a raspberry?!?!? IDK but you get my point).

So, in my intent to be a calmer, peaceful person...I am going to embrace a few things as the hours count down...

1. My wonderful husband is home and will be on vacation time at the end of the day.

2. I have two fabulous funny daughters whom I adore!

3. I have so many truly fantastic friends and family members who I know will do EVERYTHING they can to come celebrate with me on Wed....despite the weather. And I appreciate the effort!

4. We are going on a short vacation where relaxation, laughter and fun will be the focus.

5. I am a happy healthy woman who just happens to be turning 40 very soon. Cool.

I think I am going to go get in 15 minutes of yoga before my crazy week begins...and gets away from me.

Namaste.
