Birthday Link Salad

Wahoo! I made it another year. Fuck you, cancer! I'm still here, 16 years later, and still damn glad to be here. It's been a particularly memorable year for me. Full of courage and leaping, (not to mention river rafting), full of transitions and identity work, and just plain full.  There was pain, and there was the incredible (if somewhat painful in its own way) pleasure of focused creative growth. There was the love of family and friends, never something to be underestimated or taken for granted. I am thankful, so thankful, for all the blessings I was given and have yet to be given.

I sense (with my awesome Lymph Lady powers of prediction) that I am about to have yet another full year, and I am looking forward to it. I am ready to finish out my thirties with a bang (or heck, why not a series of 'em! Give me rockets, firecrackers, screamers, sparklers!) It sure as heck can't be a boring year, the way things are going around here. And remember: better busy than bored.
