Butterflies I am finally back home from the hospital. The rest of my recuperation will take place from home instead of the hospital and I'm a few months away from being back to 'normal'. Whatever that is. Pain has been a constant companion and this is certainly NOT the birthday I envisioned for myself.
My first hospital stay that started in December of 2011 robbed me of New Years Eve and most of the month of January, and now my second stay has robbed me of the month of March, part of April and of the birthday celebration I wanted to have this year.
Yet here I am. With a different perspective on everything. I learned a lot about who I am during this difficult time. I learned a lot about what I do (and don't) want for myself and my life.
Each year for my birthday I always check out birthday horoscopes, and really thought this one was interesting:
For those of us born on April 4:
Happy Birthday! Have faith in yourself and your dreams! Your clear-thinking practical streak will get you through the whole year with ease, with some possible material gain in late May, August, and January. Don't let any little self-doubts gnaw away at your confidence. Good luck and good sense are abundant, no matter how hard you imagine things are going. Act like your normal, calm, solid self, and be ready should a big, positive shift in your work or career happen in the winter. Prepare for great things and believe in yourself. Have a marvelous year!
Just because my day didn't turn out the way I expected, thankfully the year is still young enough for me to turn around with faith, persistence, and hard work. So yeah it's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to, but then I'll get back on track and be the positive butterfly you know and love!
XOXO,
Ascending Butterfly

ReplyDelete@Tamara - Thanks so much for your birthday wishes! I am happy to be back home, it's doing a lot more for my spirit to be able to heal at home as opposed to another 8 weeks in the hospital!
