33 and counting

1. kristen's new idig format of defining the day in the subject line
   
2. all the birthday messages, visits, gifts, and conversations proving how lucky i am to be surrounded by so much love and support
3. the chocolate cupcakes from kristen - the gift that keeps giving throughout the day
4. believing that even though i still have a ways to go, i have traveled so far already...which inspires me to keep going
5. the feeling of my bed when i get to crawl back into it and fall asleep

nugget: i decided today the theme for my 33rd year is going to be SHINE. i think it's perfect as it allows me to focus on the good, encourages me to trust myself and take risks, but most of all forces me to use the power i already have.
