I am spoiled. Hopefully not rotten.
Some brave souls came out to celebrate with me on the hottest day of the year. My smile was so big I couldn't feel the heat.
Cass and my mom put on a whimsical and wonderful kite party for me for my bday. Maasen was kind enough to take some pics for me, the camera-less. What a blessing!

Father of Lights, you continue to delight me with the good and perfect gifts you shower down from above. I open my arms to you and lift up my face to feel your radiance. Thank you for my family and community and the way you overwhelm my heart through them. May we all enter into the new season of fullness, movement, joy and love as you break forth into our little world. You are blessed above every other name, and I am humbled that you would look down on me with such favor to give me all of this. Thank you for another year to live, move and have my being in You.
I love you, my friends, those who could be there and those who were there in spirit. If all I had was all of this....dayenu!
