Now thats a birthday

It is odd to me, that they say " I wish I could only go back" or "If I could do it all over." ARE THEY NUTS??? I do not, have not, never will, do not not not, wish to EVER go back. I am turning 35, and absolutely loving where I am in my life. My husband and I have our moments of ups and down, but a community and family of people that help us, and really listen.
Support in anything that we may encounter. I have wonderful friends, and neighbors, and amazing kids. I have so much to be thankful for.
My mom is probably writing nearly the exact same thing right this minute. She is the one in our life that taught us to be thankful for what we have. Each day is a gift. My girlfriend Denise and I were talking the other day, and it was the controversy about how we, and others feel when it comes to immunizations. We spoke of our Doctors opinions, and how we felt. Then she asked me what my mom said. I answered....well, she has her opinion, but will always support MY choice. She laughed out loud. I asked her why? She replied, " I knew you were going to say that.I knew that your mom feels that way."
It was awesome to know for one that my mom not only supports me, but I have friends that pay attention enough to know that about my mom. My sister and I have those ah ha moments all the time. Like I know that her husband is a sugar junky (like mine) and likes to put lemon heads in his pop. Or that she could tell you every amount of buttons, on every piece of electronic thing they own. I love that I know that about her. I know that her husband is color blind. He loves to harrass many of people, so that is an on going circle when we see him.
I love where I am in my life. With relationships that I did not have, or even appreciate just 10 years ago. Some of my greatest friends are twice my age, some more, and some much much younger, and yet I love them like they were all my girlfriends my whole life.
My girlfriends that I have had since the 6th and 7th grade are also still in my life. I do not see them often enough, but we are the same when we are together, like we never missed a beat. I have reconnected with a friend I have had since the kindergarten. That is 30 years!!!
I do not feel old, I do not feel I have missed out on anything in my life. I am exactly where I would be today, if I made the best wish for my life to turn out!! Thank you for all of my birthday wishes. It was amazing to have such a variety of people who have passed through my life. Some I have not seen in what feels like centeries, and yet I know we would probably pick up right where we left off, just as I feel we have through face book.
