Thank you kindly, friends!
I had to work but my boss was out so it was quiet and very productive. Then dinner & dessert with the family - including candles on my birthday brownie because little girls love singing Happy Birthday to their Aunties, lol!
Went shopping late and will be cooking my dishes in the early AM. I'm doing my famous baked sweet potatoes a la Southern Comfort and a green bean & mushroom casserole. Dinner with my cousin's in-laws tomorrow, then an overnight hospice shift to keep me truly grateful.
I'm going even though I'm sure I won the PowerBall tonight.
Good 46th birthday, good life, amazing friends - I'm thankful!

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
