i really am lucky

and i have a wonderful life.

though, i sometimes forget, i do have a great life. good friends and family, a good job, a little house with the huge redwood tree, my stormy kitty cat who loves me, and good enough health to enjoy it all. and i get to live in one of the most amazing places in the world.

i'm not bragging, i'm not. i'm just reminding myself of how fortunate i have been. i am fortunate, and i am grateful.

i am grateful for the students and faculty exhibit at IMA, where my happy sox are happily hanging, surrounded by awesome pieces of art.
i am grateful i got to attend the CWO's fundraiser where i got to enjoy beautiful music in a very lovely and intimate setting. great food too ;)
i'm grateful for all the yummy food, drinks and wine i got to enjoy on and around my bday.

happy bday camp hope!

and happy bday to me...

(yahoo remembered!)

so i ask again, in case someone missed it the first time around, if you were planning on getting me something for my bday (the handful of you who usually do), i ask that you please, please!, please!!!! make a donation to either camp hope or the st. bernard project. please.
