New Years is traditionally the time of reflection, but I feel as though my birthday month is more of my own reflective time. Especially as I reflect on my birthday party last night, I can't help but contrast it with last year's celebration. While vastly different in numerous ways, each event was in its way wonderful.
Last year I felt very alone and forgotten. I was rescued from spending my birthday alone by a wonderfully nice neighbor. That celebration kicked off a series of events that led to my eventual meeting of many of the people I now treasure.
This year I was surrounded by many old and new friends, so much so that I didn't have time to really really talk to anyone. That was a new weird feeling for me. I was also surprised by several people who I thought wouldn't be coming. (Tricky people. :) I was also very touched by cards and unexpected gifts from people.
In this impersonal world it seems so easy to become isolated; I feel very fortunate to have such sincere and lovely friends. This has just been a marvelous year of change.
