Slipping Past

Yesterday was supposed to be the gloomiest day of the year. It was also my birthday. After this past weekend's fiasco I approached the day with some trepidation. Okay, I'll be honest...I woke up in an extremely foul mood. Before the day had even started, I wished it gone. But a quick shake of the head (to get the foul out) and a mildly stern "Stop It!" in the mirror led to brighter pastures. Minutes later I received a very nice early morning text message, which set my mindset for the rest of the day.

It was sunny, and fairly warm, and filled with balloons, flowers and a couple of beautiful cards. I'm now well into my twenties, and it's only 364 more days until I'm legal for everything* except retirement. It wasn't a gloomy day at all. More importantly, it's over, and now we're all one day closer to the happiest day of the year. Though I think it'll be happening a lot closer (for me anyway) than June.

*I'm still not old enough to rent a car..humph!
