I made myself a promise when I was a child: “by …. years I will have done…., accomplished …. many things, and will have had at least a precious offspring”. This morning brought streamers, shouts, giggles, songs, smiles, roses and presents.
I am not a morning person…but this morning I was as excited as a child on Christmas day. I didn’t jump out of bed. I stormed out. Today was the day! My list needed checked and I was going to do that right away and be done with it for another 10 years…that’s the next bracket. I hope I do better on it by that time!
By noon I had forgotten all about it…little foot et co. had made me oblivious of all world out there. I did learn that IHOP is extremely busy on Good Friday, especially if you want a seat by the window…you know, to have the ocean close at all times. It also seems that those are the greatest waffles in the world, judging by the amount of them little foot can scarf down…
Then came the cake… you know you’re not a cake person when…you let your little foot pick out a surf cake for your birthday! It was just as sweet as any other… and, hey! “those little ninjas will fit perfectly on that surfboard!”…I guess sharing is what I do best…sometimes…
The list will have to wait some more years…it will most likely get amended…so much on it is not in my dreams anymore. New, simpler, more powerful items have been added without my even realizing it. I guess we have just as much power over our destiny as it has on us! Here’s to a new year! I’ve made it so far…unbelievable! I will have to start my memoirs soon…so much has happened, that I am starting to get foggy on details…must put them on paper…for little foot. Reading about nuts is important, when the nuts are at the root of your tree…
To those of you who observe it, may this Good Friday bring you the revelation as well.
