In my neck of the woods.....

This blog is just about that.. things the way they are in my neck of the woods.

It was my birthday last Sunday, June 1st. Probably one of my best birthdays ever. Definitely the best birthday in recent past. No I did not have a celebration, because I dont believe in celebrating things we dint really have a say. No I did not have a flood of calls or flowers or gifts.

Still it was the best because it was a gift to myself. I planned to spend a peaceful day doing things I love. Being at peace with myself. The whole day not once did I think about past nor did I think about the future. I did not look back and regret nor look forward and hope. It was very liberating. I did not make resolutions. So what did I do?

1. On Saturday(the day before by Bday), I cleaned my home. Every nook and corner. At the end of it all it was smelling of flowers.
2. I bought myself flowers from the old lady at the farmers market. Also bought a lot for fresh vegetables.
3. Got me a cake, a small chocolate fudge cake.
4. Made myself a beautiful breakfast of pancakes, orange juice and eggs with veggies.
5. Washed my car, waxed it. My baby is shiny like a new penny.
6. Started two new memberships. I will talk about them when I get what I want out of them.
7. Ofcourse my parents called and wished. My dad said I was a sunday baby and this birthday falls on a sunday.
8. Finished a Elizabeth Lowell Novel
9. Watched the Sun set from my window overlooking the river
10. Read all the wishes left on my facebook and myspace by friends

That was my birthday, and I hope just be content the rest of the year whether or not things work out for me.

Apart from the birthday, Work is great. Enjoying it and it is nice to see people whom I work with appreciate it. People I work for appreciate it to and hand me oppurtubities to grow.

My company sponsered trip to Chicago over the memorial day weekend was a nice break. It was nice to meet my friends and enjoy their company. It gave me a sense of accomplishment and confidence. It was nice to see people have faith in my and expecting bigger things from me. And I AM READY!!! BRING IT ON!!!!!
