A Magical Day

Today is a magical day! It's the spring equinox, a full moon, Good Friday - and my 35th birthday! Birthdays are always magical, but with the alignment of all of these other special events, it's a very powerful day! I went for a walk this morning and plan to celebrate with a big bowl of posole (vegetarian-style) tonight, thanks to the DH's culinary skills. I'm heading out tomorrow for a few days in sunny Tucson, to spend time with AZ tea lover.

Here is a poem I wrote for my b-day last year. I like it so much, I've brought it back for an encore.

Cheers! Stephanie

Riches of My Life

A yellow daffodil and the scent of geranium

A safe home

Wealth enough to give me plenty of what I need and, thankfully,
Only some of what I want

A spirit and will that are my own

A body that I have befriended

A steadfast family

A life partner who challenges me, loves me, and feeds me -
My body and my soul

Friends that touch my heart

A mind that can discern its own truths

Enough pain and loss to make what I have
Ever sweeter

Plans and dreams

My life is 35 years beautiful
And I am present
I am flowing -
Flowing over with gratitude
