Happy Birthday my friend. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. Or, in Liz's case, today. Heck I'd just start celebrating now!

:party:

Love,
Peg

Thank you for the birthday wishes my friends!

Thanks you guy's!

It is a day early but what the heck. If I was in Australia with Liz I would be partying today, then fly home and do it again Tuesday.

I'm scheduled to work at the floral shop all day tommorrow and was just getting ready to call and see if they can make it without me- I just feel like spending a quiet day here at home. It's so dark this time of year and I get a bit down in the dumps with the lack of light. I know the days are getting longer but these long winters are the only thing about living here I still can't seem to adjust to after 13 years. Using a light box helps some and I've been going through seed catalogues which lifts my spirits.

We got a good snow dump yesterday so the world is white and beautiful again. Haven't been out of the house today but the sun was shining and the mountains were so majestic looking.

We are planning a nice quiet family dinner with just the three of us to celebrate. :smile: My husband and Lannie are insistant on baking a gluten free cake. They haven't seemed to notice (I guess) that I'm not eating any refined sugars anymore so rather than spoil their fun I'll indulge myself with a small piece of whatever they come up with.

Yeppers, I'm turning 51, and feeling fine! I'm so thankfull for my regained health and for all your support. It's just great to be alive.

Love,
Joanna

Hi Joanna....I know what you mean about down in the dumps, and I don't even have the same amount of darkness as you do. But, we do have the rain....hahaha...no rain yesterday, so we did not break the record, but there was plenty of rain today! I am trying to figure out my depression...I take meds, but still have been very weepy...maybe hormones out of whack? I don't know, but got that way again today! There may be cutbacks at my school and it makes me very scared and depressed...sigh. I also am happy/sad because I gave notice to retire from ski school after this season. I told the director on Saturday and e-mailed the other board members this morning...have received e-mails from our treaurer, director and assist director....The Director wanted to make sure I was serious about quitting. Oh ya...I am serious. I will still be up there with my school group next year and I will probably have to buy my own season pass, but will save several hundred $ on ferry fare and can then maybe afford a pass. The director seemed better when I told him I would still be up at the ski area when they are...hahahaha. After 28 years, I have become very close to him and his wife and I for sure want that friendship to continue. But anyway, maybe my depression has to do with the stress of change and the fear of my job being cut back. (And rainy, dark days) Grrrrrrr...spring is just around the corner..we will survive!

Have a WONDERFUL Birthday Joanna!
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha

Hi Joanna:

Have a wonderful birthday - I'm kinda mixed up, but hope I'm on time.

Hope you got the day off to do what you want just for you. Sweet that Lannie and your husband are baking a cake. Aren't families great?

:birthday: from Momster
Do something nice for you today
