Reading over some of my past post are painfully embarrassing, and I almost feel as though I'm naked... On a stage... In front of my closest friends. Yikes.
But you know, I chose to volunteer up that information. As sad or depressing, or even boring as it was, I decided to make you aware of the sometimes painful things in life.
This isn't Instagram.
Life situations are ugly... And sometimes even boring.
They are not always picturesquely happy and perfect.
Thank God.
We need variance.
On another note......
Something great happened this week, or at least in my book it was great.
Every month, my employer celebrates employees birthdays.
We all gathered in the break room and I stood to take my place in front of everyone, along with all the other September babies to have the birthday song sang to us.
I acted like it was no big deal, and even that I was a little embarrassed, but truth be told, I felt honored, loved, and cared about.
Even though I have only been working there for 3 months and even though the celebration almost seems like a mandatory act of kindness... I loved it.
I loved that we ate Publix birthday cake at 7:30 in the morning, and that my birthday was publicly recognized.
Recognition feels good to my heart.
That was the first time in the past however long I've been working... 10ish years, that any employer has ever recognized/celebrated a birthday.
My family isn't big on celebrating birthdays either, like after a certain age, the celebrating calms down...... so this was a treat.
I will be in Seattle the day after my next birthday.
I plan to celebrate, celebrate, celebrate. Celebrate.
