Happy birthday to me!




Funny how a week can change so much. I was going to post a blog last week, but I didn’t, I Iet it sit there and this week when I went to go back and read what I wrote and well...I trashed it.  It’s funny how that happens with ones own writing. Believe me it happens more often than not.

Instead I am celebrating my life, my 39 years on this beautiful place called life. When I look back at my years as a young girl, teenager, young women and soon to be approaching the great 40’s (one more year) I am very grateful for my life, the rough times, the good times, the times of sorrow, the times of complete joy, every moment, every breath I take I am grateful for. I’m grateful for my health, my fitness levels, my ability to ride my bike, run, hike and snowboard. Taking a walk on the beach, feeling the sand in between my toes, smelling the fresh pine trees all while I am coming down the trail on my bike. Yes, I am grateful for it all.

The last year for me has been a self reflection in many ways, I’ve striped myself naked and no not in that sense, but yes, pulled the many layers of self off to start over in my life, to start new beginnings. To reach that self fulfillment, to reach my ultimate high. Even though the last year has been tough for me at times, I continue to be grateful for all I have and want to thank each person in my life. My celebration of my life is celebrating with all the people who mean so much to me, my family, my friends and of course riding my bike.

So, although I didn’t blog about the most recent events in my life, I have chosen to keep some of those things close to my heart, If I learned anything in the past year, it is my gratitude for everything in this life of which I get to live and experience. Good or bad, I am so grateful and will continue to shine on!

Happy Birthday to me (April 12th) and yes, my birthday wouldn't be AP’s birthday day without yes, you guessed it, a birthday song. I had to pick one of the top playing songs of April 1974. Here we go and as a gift to you all, my MOST favorite song to follow.

Much love to you all!
