Refreshing

I feel refreshed.

This weekend was exactly what I needed.

Birthday celebrations, favorite people, favorite places, memories, playing, enjoying. 
Nothing can be wrong with a long weekend, best friends, and good food.

When I am with the people who love me, the people who I know will accept me no matter what, I am at peace.

I feel good about me when I am with them.  I feel motivated to take on the world when I remember who I am and where I came from.  I feel excited for life to move forward when I realize how much the changes in my life have shaped me for good.

I have been so very blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.  I can't even begin to count them all, though I count every one of them amongst my most amazing blessings. 

I'm older.  Wiser, maybe.  And this year will be one of my best.  I can just feel it.   

I feel refreshed.
