It's my birthday today, and I just spent the day with my husband

at home. It sounds boring, but I loved it. Last year a family member died the day before my birthday, and I was under a lot of pressure to make arrangements for the funeral. I pretended I was okay but at the end of the day I was a mess.

So this year I am grateful for a calm, peaceful birthday. I am grateful for another year in this world, and I am proud to be 36 today.

I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend.
