Today, is my birthday!

This morning, I woke up to 20 texts and about 50 facebook notes all wishing me a happy birthday. Just when I didnt think I could feel any luckier or more loved, I checked my email. I had one personal email from my dear friend Kait, who I used to live with. Yesterday I just happened to be wishing she could be here for my birthday like she has been the last two years. I specifically loved the notes she gave me on both of those days, especially the first one, I still remember what was in that short but very full letter. It just stuck. So here I am, groggy eyed, squinting at my computer screen and there it is, my birthday note from my dear friend that is traveling all the way around the world at the moment. I melted at the realization that she took the time to write me ON my actual birthday morning, right after I was yearning for a note from her. The PS she left me with left tears running down my newly 25 year old face. If I could start everyday like I did today...Id be the luckiest person in the world! 

Here's what she wrote me...

"P.S. Since I've been traveling, a lot of people have complimented me on my ability to choose laughter over fear or anger. I want to let you know that you taught me that when we lived together, and it makes everything better. Don't forget what you taught me, and teach it to others."
