I don't know why I'm so uncomfortable with the crying business....just the way I'm wired I suppose!

Today was my 42nd birthday and it's been a WONDERFUL day!!! I spent most of the day with Pete out in the woods. We explored mostly by car but also did a little bit of hiking, found a beautiful waterfall and I had fun taking photos of Pete in his element. The weather was absolutely PERFECT to be outside.....high 50s, cool, crisp, bright blue skies....couldn't have asked for a nicer day! We spent some time with my mom (who gave me a dark purple bagallini bag that I've been wanting...WOOO HOOOOOO!!!), went to the cemetary to put spring flowers up at my nana's grave, stopped for ice cream and went home to relax a bit. I have been feeling really, REALLY good these last 2 or 3 days and am thankful that today was the same. I went to a yoga class, stayed for 45 minutes and left early so I could go to a Saturday night church service. I parked half a mile from the church and walked. Afterwards I walked back to the car even though I had an offer for a ride. It felt good to walk and take in the early evening air. I picked up some Chinese food for dinner on the way home.....got home to find that it totally sucked and decided it just wasn't worth being upset about and made myself a tomato sandwich instead.
    Pete gave me a 12 month subscription to OneTrueMedia which is the program I like to use to make my montages with. With a membership I can use an unlimited number of photos and can add both my own music and text if I like. I also have access to more music that they have at the site. It's something I really enjoy doing especially on days that I can't do much else. Perfect!!!   He's the best!!! When the local nursery has lilac bushes out, we'll get one to plant on the bank near the house....that's an annual thing for us. I always get a flowering shrub....the bank is getting to be quite beautiful!!! :)

Have a good night everybody!!!

Much love,

Michelle
