Yesterday we celebrated my 54th birthday. Barry cooked with help of some close friends. It was a quiet celebration, but it was a celebration. In our family we believe in celebrating the gift of life. When I hear people dismiss birthdays as just another day I feel sad. If you can't celebrate the gift of life, what in it is worth celebrating? On the day of my birthday I think of my mother and all those years ago giving birth to her ninth child, then bringing me home to add me to the bunch! I also think of my daughters and the day they were born and what a miracle life itself is.
I enjoy being surrounded by family and friends and have a fun day.
I had a special gift this year. My friend Teri took an afternoon off, cooked lunch fur us and spent the afternoon with me. Her gift was the gift of herself. She wrapped Christmas gifts for me and helped me start to decorate the house for Christmas. It made all the difference. The house looks beautiful and I got to catch up with a friend. What a thoughtful thing to do.
My day started with my weight watcher's weigh in and I'm pleased to say after two weeks of nothing the scale moved today. I have lost a total of 7 1/2 pounds now. That's not bad for six weeks of effort. I'm feeling better in my clothes and eating well most of the time and that is what matters. It makes such a difference to have the community of sisters all around Canada, doing this with me and my soul sister Mary, right here in town. We have lost over forty pounds between us!
This weekend we are going to Guelph to enjoy a family weekend together. Jerri will come from Toronto and join us. It's a way to help the girls be a part of our November birthdays without disrupting Meg's studies too much.
I'm really looking forward to our family weekend, there's nothing quite like four of us together.
