I'm Not Bipolar, I'm Just a Gemini

BFF shared the title of this post with me today :)  We are both Geminis, and we completely realize that dealing with us can sometimes be a bit "trying".  One day we want one thing, the next day we want something else.  But it's not our fault.  Right?

My birthday celebration was AMAZING.  That is the only word to describe it.  Seven of my besties and I met in a quaint little city and made the most of it.  We met some interesting characters.  We drank far too many shots.  We ended the night at a hot dog stand, where people were yelling at us with bull horns.  We started the next day with brunch.  And then did some shopping.  It was nothing short of amazing, and I realized something this weekend.  No matter where I am next week, next month or next year....I will be happy.  I have the most amazing girlfriends in the world, and they will ALWAYS be there to laugh with me.  And to dance with me.  And to smile with me.

Daisy wasn't able to join in the celebration with us, so she graciously offered to keep LW for me.  Boy did he have a good time!  Although I would have liked nothing more than to wake up on my birthday morning with puppy kisses, I knew he was in good hands:

(when I got home LW couldn't even hold his head up.  Too much fun for this pup!)

Last night I gave a bit of thought to the last year of my life.  Because really...how can one not?  Another year has passed, and a new beginning is upon me.  Although the last month of my life has been heartbreaking, I wouldn't take back the last year for anything.  Seriously.  I would probably have done a few things differently, but all in all......I've laughed more, smiled more and loved more than I have in a long, long time :) 

I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I'll tell you one thing friends...it will find me with a smile on my face and a bounce in my step. And a new mantra to boot:

Don't promise me the moon or the stars, just promise me you'll stay under them with me.

Hope your Monday is as lovely as mine is!
