Thank You!

Many thanks to everyone who wrote to me in response to my last blog. Your positive feedback has been so wonderful! Even my Dad commented on how much he liked it. I think it is important to acknowledge that all is not right in the world but also to remember there is something we can do about it. Anyway, your emails were all very sweet and I just wanted to acknowledge them.

I have been living here full-time for a year now, other than the five weeks I took off to Toronto this summer. It seems like I've been here forever some days. I guess I can now say I live here full-time. Actually, when people ask me how long I've been here, I usually say two years and neglect to mention the four months I spent working in Toronto during that cool, rainy summer in 2003.

And another birthday is looming in the not so distant future which means I will have to make more resolutions. Hmmm ... I think I've probably already made them but have yet to put them into operation. More on that soon. In the meantime, I found this really cool site where you can plug in your birthdate and get back a "blurb" about your personality. I'm always a sucker for this type of thing (and horoscopes) so here goes:

Your birth on the 2nd day of the month adds a degree of emotion, sensitivity, and intuition to your life. The 2 is a very social number allowing you to make friends easily and quickly. Yet you are apt to have a rather nervous air in the company of a large group. You have a warmhearted nature and emotional understanding that constantly seeks affection.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do on that date. It will be special this year because my friend Medina will be arriving from Canada the week before and she is staying for three months! YAY!!! Anyway, it is always a treat for me to spend my birthday with a close friend. Not sure what we're doing yet but a trip out of town might be in order since I have a five day weekend!!!
