My intention for this new year.
Be careful what you wish for!
Earlier this year, I made some decisions about the path my life was going to take. And I remember saying to a girlfriend that those decisions should set in motion a series of events that will have a domino effect in my life for the rest of the year!
Man…sometimes I need to hush! Long story short, for the first time in my life I actually worked on my birthday! And guess what? I did not die!
In fact the opposite happened, I felt so alive and so full of gratitude for the blessing of another year of life. For making it to this birthday in good health – give or take a few pounds. I have a family who loves me. Friends (the real kind…not the FB friends who post once a year on your birthday) who take time out of their equally busy days to wish me a happy one.
I welcomed my birthday with my sister…we stayed up to have a drink and reminisce as one year slipped into the next. It was simple. It was perfect. I felt loved…and then the rains came…the perfect goodbye and hello. The promise of a fresh, albeit slightly damp start.
Here’s to a year filled with
Gratitude.
Really good coffee.
Drinks with my sister.
Tiramisu with friends.
Sun on my skin.
Trust.
Slow mornings.
Rainy Sundays.
Avocado toast.
Red eye sunrises.
Writing my own permission slip.
Sauna on “me-days”.
Family dinners.
Belly-laughs.
Loving with my whole heart.
…and most of all
Abundance.
Adventure.
And Infinite Possibilities!
I’m ready. Let’s do this!

HA!!! Yes…you did mention that you walked sideways! Thank you Ken and I hope your day was great as well.
Thank you. It was very quiet, but we were away and eating in style for the week before 😉
Wow…something else we have in common. July…Leo the best people :-)…a little high strung (I speak only for me…I think it gets worse with age lol) …Mine was the day of the coup…we should have a cup of tea or a drink to celebrate and you can tell me all about your trip. Really Vernette…you talk about me but your writing inspires me! I love your bucket list…it makes you want to leap from your computer chair and go out and have some avocado toast, coffee (which I don’t drink) and all those other things! LOL….Happy birthday mi dear 🙂 I took a time out and went to the sister isle for a few days…very low budget but extremely gratifying stuff…#thebestthingsinlifearefree ! Bless you this new year.

Thank you Stacy!!!
Awesome. Happy birthday to you, Vernette. Your birthday beginnings sound wonderful and perfect. It does sound like you have much love in your life which is prob why you’re nonchalant about the dating. But you know, a true partner will add to your life, not detract from it. I hope you have a wonderful year ahead and that those things you want will happen for you
