tomorrow i turn 25. i'm definitely not 21 anymore. in saying that i do like the number twenty-five. i like the way it sounds, i like the way it looks.
most importantly i like the way it feels.
i'm approaching 25 with a spring in my step and a strawberry in my hand. I feel more comfortable and more content in my skin that i have ever felt before.
on this birthday i will celebrate with my boys. the one i fell in love with shortly after the above photo was taken. and the precious little munchkin we made together. there will be a special breakfast with friends and dinner with family. and a saturday night date with d. there will be chocolate too. perhaps some fresh blooms and a ribbon or two.
i will miss a few girls though. those crazy girls who have been there on the last six birthdays. the ones who always dress-up and have fun. who make me laugh. a few are busy in Sydney and the others are under the cherry blossoms in Japan. Yes girls, have a sake for me.
i love birthdays.
what a really, really good time picture. Happy Birthday!

ReplyDelete25 is wonderful, you are old enough to have figured a lot of stuff out and young enough to still feel carefree.
I wish you a year of happiness with your wonderful boys.
At 10 years older, I can say I really liked the run up to 30. At 25 I was juggling a return home from a six month assignment in Vietnam, the arrival in my life of my four-step children (all at once, add water, instant family) or maybe my arrival in their life. We'd been visiting each other for almost every weekend of the three years prior and now we all lived together, in the one town, in the one house. 25 was hard, I don't even know that I have photos. Was good, but hard, you know. I loved 30, I'm finding 35 interesting, a new challenge - the beginning of a new seven-year cycle. Hmmm. I'm rambling. My wish for you: dark chocolate with a hint of chilli, a wee glass of an exotic sounding red wine, a plum coloured ribbon and a little ray of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jodi!
