Today...

Today is the day of my birth.... 24 years ago...

Sorry to some and thanks for celebrating to others.

Today I've decided to not stress... Not stress about the sale of my house... Or the NOT sale of my house.... Not stress about the relationships I attempt to have.... Not stress about the 75K those rotten sunsabitches want from me. Honestly, I'm going to make an extra effort in NOT stressing about the fact that I'm at work.....

I spoke with my mother last night on what she calls my "birthday eve" and it was refreshing. I vented for 45 minutes about all of the things I'm Not going to stress or think about today and her response was one of brilliance----> she laughed.... For a moment I thought she was laughing at me... Which I couldn't blame her for anyways, but she wasn't. She wasn't laughing at me... She was in essence laughing with me..... (except at this point in the conversation I was not at all amused). However, she said to me something that I needed to hear... She said she laughs, because for her entire 53 years the "samethings" seem to happen to her.... Every year.. Never failing.. So she tells me I should start laughing about it now, so by the time I'm her age it wont bother me that much... Brilliant I think. Absolutely brilliant....So I suppose that I will..Hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil.... FOR today anyway.

And for now I will end on that note. Happy Birthday to me. Greatest gift I've recieved..... The ideal of "how to deal". Love you mom.
