for the last couple of years, my husband and i have stopped celebrating our birthdays with the usual party pomp. we’ve been opting for short travels when the schedule fits, or simple celebrations with the family. my birthday this year wasn’t any different. and frankly, i couldn’t ask for anything more.

woke up (extra early) to a birthday cake baked by hubby and several presents, one of which was a personal pick from jan. took a nap with mia and woke up to a flood of phone and email messages from friends and family. had a great dinner at a german bistro near our place. and as i drifted off to sleep, i realize that at 37, i have every reason for having a happy birthday.

…a loving, dedicated and obliging husband.
…two smart, confident and assertive children any mother would be proud of.
…family whose support i could always count on.
…in laws who love me like their own.
…friends i could run to in times of need.

because truly, at the end of the day, it is our relationships with those around us that puts the ‘happy’ in happy birthday.
