What does a birthday at 52 look like when your friend group is more private, you're not on FB, when you don't have a big party?
It looks like a stream of texts, cards and phone calls on and off all day. It looks like kids being home and the hubs buying flowers and you give yourself a little extra love all day long.
It feels good to pull back from social media and have a normal level of exchanges with people who know and love me, who knew it was my birthday. They didn't need a reminder to pop up somewhere. They just knew and they had things they wanted to say.
It feels blessed, that's what it feels like, to have a community of love around you where if you have any doubt, on your birthday, they remind you of how important you are to them.
