There are no pictures to accompany this post. There will be some, though... later.
This past week has been mentally awful. I find myself in tears several times a day over the smallest thing... a song, a smell, a word, a thought... It's truly unbearable at times. I'm so thankful for caring friends and for Emma and Noah. They give me purpose and new reasons to smile all day long.
And today, my friends, you all have made me smile SO MUCH! I don't look forward to birthdays anymore, but it's definitely better than the alternative and when I woke up this morning, I would have truly been content to have stayed in bed watching tv and reading my book all day long. However, my family was coming over to my mom's to cook-out for my birthday, so I got up... got ready and went.
I'm so glad I did. It was refreshing and wonderful. It was great to spend time together and know that they each loved me enough to show up for me. :)
And the fact that I've gotten TONS of happy birthday messages on facebook and through texts today has just been truly overwhelming... in an amazing way. I didn't know that many people cared about me! Seriously!
And just a moment ago, my breathe was truly taken away... one of my FAVORITE photographers left me a happy birthday message!! Hello people, she's in AUSTRALIA!!! My heart dropped into my toes when I saw it. I had no idea she even knew I existed. She has thousands of followers, yet she took the time to tell little ole' me Happy Birthday. My day... week... month... possibly year has been totally made. :)

I am so sorry you have felt so down! Nobody should feel that way, especially on your birthday week! :)
How cool that you have a fan...who is YOUR fan. Sounds like a friendship that's meant to be!
Sorry you've been feeling this way. Life can throw us so many different challenges! It really does just make us stronger though. I promise!! I'm so happy that you enjoyed your birthday. You deserve it! More than you give yourself credit for. You are so talented and a loving mother!! Don't ever doubt that! Have a good day girl!
