Friends, today was a good day! I slept in, played hooky from my responsibilities. I spend the morning with two of the people I love most in this world, my husband and daughter. I talked to my close friend in New Mexico for most of the day, smiled at the messages I got about my birthday and just thought about how very lucky I am.
I had dinner with my family, my in-laws, my cousin Lynda, my bestie Robyn. It was heaven.
I got fun gifts, Lynda knows me well… she got me a boarders gift card. Robyn got me the twilight soundtrack and my in-laws an amazing coat.
I feel blessed. I feel like God has given me so much.
Now for the day: I did my hair! I dressed up. I felt fun, fab and twenty seven. The thing is, it doesn’t matter. I know that. It doesn’t matter that I look great, because that isn’t what made me feel beautiful today. It was the love I got from my friends and family. It was the phone calls and the facebook messages. It was all of that.
I think part of me finding my style, and becoming a lady is about also becoming the person on the inside I want to be. I am not always a good person. I fail. I can be mean and cruel. Why? Life is just so short and here I am adding hurt to a crying world.
I read Lynda’s post, and felt for her. Opening up like that can be hard. I think she has a pretty face. I think she has a beautiful soul. Honestly who needs to be more than that?
Anyway, I owe you all ex rules, but you know what, right now I want to do something for Lynda and I. Not only is this 27 years of me but it is 27 years of being cousins.
Here’s to beautiful lives.
Yours,
Kara
