- Mood: Giddy & Silly
- Weather: Snowing
Today is my birthday. At 8am this morning, while riding through the Lincoln Tunnel, somewhere between New Jersey and New York... I turned 34. I've gotten a slew of e-mails and phonecalls filled with well wishes, which have made me very happy... but the best birthday greetings came from Nature herself.
I stepped out briefly for lunch today cause it's so cold, grabbed a slice of pizza, bought myself a birthday gift (Wonder Woman action figures! LOL), and headed back to the office. Every year, it has always snowed on my birthday. Every year. Without fail. I had just gotten in from outside, and although it was chilly, it was very sunny and bright. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I sadly wondered "No snow today?" I guess its childish, and a little selfish, but I've always felt that the snowfalls on my birthday were meant just for me. LOL.
Twenty minutes ago, I turned around and casually looked out my window... and there it was... little flakes of white and silver falling from the sky. Silent. Unannounced. It made me so very happy inside, and filled me with that jitter little children get when they see snow fall for the first time in December. The back of my neck and shoulders feel alive with that tingle that something more than what I can see with my eyes is around me.
Every year, it has always snowed on my birthday. Every year. Without fail.
Thank you, Mother Winter.
