This year I have awakened to a very quiet house, a familiar house. I love the stillness of this morning. I woke up praying again, and not for myself. I love the simplicity of my life right now. I say that, and then I laughed a little out loud and Maggie just snorted and opened one eye and glared at me to be quiet.
My life is actually quite complicated at the moment and will remain so for the rest of my days. I am getting my head around all that.
So today as I begin to stir, I am so thankful for my life. I am thankful to have lived a beautiful year between 38 and 39 and I am thankful for the special grace God gave to me once I became comfortable just being in my own skin.
I wish you all a wonderful June 5th - and all the days until the next...
xoxo,

(I hope I didn't hack the French too badly!!! I'm trying to say "may your day be beautiful, and only good things come to you this year!)
Happy belated birthday, my friend. May the next and the many more to come bring even more grace and blessings to you. Cheers!
Happy birthday, lovely lady! School is out tomorrow, I'll have time over the summer, and I'll write something this weekend. Because I want the secret.
Happy belated Birthday! I stumbled upon your blog and found your writing very inspiring and moving. Some of the things you love are also on my favorite list. My sister and I are going to Paris in a couple of weeks, and would like to ask you about something. Can I send you an email?
Mellissa: Hope you had a great week celebrating your birthday.
Hello Lena,
You are welcome to send an email and I will help you out in whatever way I can. Paris is such a wonderful city - will it be your first time there?

Happy birthday...you wonderful globe troting, comfy skin loving girlie.
Hey you, glad I passed by before you post anything new lol.
Joyeux anniversaire Bug :D
Wish you all the best and more and more simplicity in your life.
As for the subject of your post, so strange ... I woke up today thinking the same about my life about where I were a year ago during the same time (home, italy, home again, a boyfriend, love, great times) and today (no vacation, work, screwed up relationship even though it's just starting, terribly unsafe situation at home), strange how life changes in a year, isn't it? ...
Oh I love it how I read you on the same day I had this thought in mind ... oh love youuuuuuuuuu!
you can tell that your life will remain as complicated as it is now for 'the rest of your days'?
that sounds like youre eluding to an illness. i hope that is not the case.
i trust you got my email? never heard a response.
Hey Mellissa
Hope you're doing all right.
Hope your day was special, Mellissa. And hope you are O.K. I may be many miles away, but through the phone and email, I'm right here.
Hello everyone,
I don't have an illness. Please don't worry.
I will write and share everything with you all in time.
xoxo,
Mellissa
Just checking in and letting you know you're on my mind....
