Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to me, Haaaapppppyy Birthday dear Mmmeeeee. Happy Birthday to me.
Well here it is I have turned the big 4 0 today.
One of those big milestone Birthdays, that as an American women I am preconditioned to dread.
Truth be told though, I don't dread these, or any birthdays for that matter. After all it is just a number. Still a mile stone though.
For years I have been imagining my 40th birthday. I was going to be backpacking through Spain on the Camino. A month long journey of spiritual awakening and self discovery. That has been the plan for the longest time.
Well up until a little over 4 years ago. My father passed away, and my Mother moved in with us. I love my Mother to death, but she can be difficult. There is no way I can leave my family behind for a month while my Mother is living with us. They would drive each other to insanity, and not all of them might survive that.
The realization that I would not be making this trek, at least not now, made me sad. After all I deserve my spiritual awakening, self discovery journey, don't I?
Well, believe it or no't that is where this Blog comes in. Really, I don't need to travel, to discover myself. Spiritual awakening, I believe, comes from truly knowing yourself. So I will keep this Blog and hopefully find my true self. If nothing else it will be therapeutic to write down my thoughts.
