Overjoyed

Celebrating my birthday is something that is an absolute necessity for me to do.
Not only is it a time to give thanks for what I am blessed with but it is monumental because 28 years ago I struggled to even be a part of this world.  As a pre-mature baby, trying to enter this world 5 weeks early, I believed that it was my time to shine.  Little did I know that it was God's will, including the miracle of technology that kept me going.  I am truly blessed to be a healthy being on this earth and have amazing people in my life. 
The outpour of greetings on facebook and text made my day and although it took me forever to respond to each greeting, I finally finished, many hours later.  Each person took the time to click on my page and write something so I figured the least I could do was say thank you.  Even if I haven't talked to most of those well wishers in ages, it is still comforting to know that each of them was willing to take a moment of their time to wish me a "happy birthday".  I hope that every single person that wished me happy birthday will be as blessed as I have been and will realize that each day is a miracle.
Life is a party to me, if I'm not having fun or enjoying what I'm doing, then I should not be doing it in the first place.  There are people that do not enjoy law school and let's admit it, not all of the subject matter is the most interesting to learn, but in all honestly, I love it!  I truly love being surrounded by my peers and knowing that what we are learning is a piece of the puzzle that will potentially change lives, is exhilarating. I love life, I love living and I love just being happy.  Maybe I have my own world that is full of sunshine and smiling faces but life is too short to bitch, calm down and just live.
