Today is my actual birthday. Ron wished me a happy birthday in yesterday's comments and said "may all your dreams come true". My first thought was that I only had one dream - and if you read here, you know what that is.But this year I've made a commitment to myself to put myself first. Just writing that makes me feel selfish and like a horrible person. That's how my mind works - putting myself first is not natural to me, even though its healthy and not at all selfish. If I don't put myself first then I can not be my BEST SELF and therefore all the people I love and care about don't get the best me. Shoot, I don't know. I just know I want to have a good year, have some fun, experience some peace.
My BFF wished me a happy "peaceful" birthday - that's what I want, peace.
Peace, Hope and Love, Barbara
P.S. As of today I am knocking five years off my age. This way I can celebrate my 50th birthday in three years. Age is not how old you ARE, its how old you feel!
P.S. S. Last year's birthday: I was trying to find a new rehab for Keven, he had just had a "breakdown" and spent a few days in the mental health hospital. Anthony was in prison begging me for money. The year before that Keven was in jail and I don't remember what Ant was up to but I can guess.

Happy Birthday....a double blessing to you and your new goal of putting yourself first. Is it ok if we remind you of this through out the year. ;o) When it doesn't come natural its easy to forget. If anyone deserves to put herself first, its YOU.
I dropped H off at rehab on one of my birthdays. It just doesn't seem right huh.
Best wishes to you, Barbara! You have been a wonderful online friend to all the bloggers:)
Happy Birthday, Barbara. I wish you total success in putting yourself first. Maybe one day I should try that myself.
Today is my son's 21st birthday. He is currently in sober living over 1,000 miles from home. I am having a difficult day, but I know he is in the right place. I'm not even a drinker, but for some reason I feel sad that he will never be able to have a drop of alcohol. I know it isn't reasonable thinking, but for some reason, I'm sad nonetheless. Today I mourn the kid of my dreams...all the plans I had for him 21 years ago today...sigh.
Anyway, sorry for the hijack. Happy birthday ♪♪♪♫♫♫
