It's my party...

I'm 28 today.

Life has felt hectic recently. Work has been busy - but good - I'm
enjoying it a lot more.

The rain! So much rain! It's crazy! I can't remember even seeing so
much rain! I don't own a clothes drier - never needed one - and now I
have nothing to wear. I'm trying to dry things by hanging them in the
garage but they don't smell too great - all musty! I'm down to my last
pair of undies - you know the ones - they have no elastic and only
stay on because you're wearing trousers over them to hold them up.

We heard some unfortunate news on Sunday - that a guy (who was in my
church youth group back when I was teen) was violently and senselessly
killed on Saturday night. It made me feel sick and I've been haunted
by it a lot. It's so sad.

Hubby's good - the thing about his new business still winds me up -
not that I don't trust him to be good at what he does, but the switch
to leaving his job and doing this business full time is not going to
be easy given our tight financial situation.

I'm learning to relax about things more though.

I mean, there will always be things to worry about but I can't let it
get to me - I'm getting better at ignoring and forgetting rather than
thinking too much. Events like what happened last weekend to that poor
boy on the weekend just make me see how precious *today* is. How I'm
so lucky really.

So no complaints from me.
Not even about being "almost 30!"

You're not "almost 30"...you're "slightly over 25"!

Happy Birthday!

And what the heck and all was that comment? Scary!

The money situation makes women more nervous than men, I think. We just need financial security. But hopefully he'll be amazingly successful, and then you'll be better off before AND he'll be happy because he's doing something he wants to do.

Jezzy,

You know what "true love" really is. Follow your husbands dreams,...and believe. For it is a passion for what you believe that is the ultimate compliment in life and in reality. If he loves you, of which I've no doubt, and he has that level of passion for "going it alone" , than he has a vision for you, your children, and your life ahead that is born of love. I'm not saying it's a "slam dunk" success guarantee'd, but that is the glue that binds two people int one "couple". Believe me. My wife have been to the "edge" more times tha you have hairs on your head to count, and it is simply, and purely LOVE, and FAITH in each other that have brought us to 62 years old TOGETHer for over 40 years married, and still "cuddling" each night of our lives.
Helen Keller, a deaf, blind mute, in the Sotuerhn United Sates in the 1930's and 40's once said, "Life is either and adventure, or not."
Would you prefer an adventure, "or not"?
