Friday the 13th... Today, "On My Sleeve." is exactly 2 months old. I've never celebrated 2 months of anything, but I feel like celebrating OMS today. This vehicle for myself has proven to be something of a welcome distraction from all of the happy and unhappy nonsense that surrounds me everyday.
For the ones reading, thank you for dropping by... I'll take a bite out of that special cupcake that I have prepared to mark this random day. I even topped it with lemon icing for you.
Speaking of birthday rituals... Here's my take... I offered this to a childhood friend who celebrated her 21st birthday for the 15th time last week. On your special day or on any day where you feel the need to celebrate the aging process of anything or anyone, make sure that you sing your favorite song. Even if you can't sing, belt it out... Sing it proud. And if your special day is older than the number one, blow out all of the candles except one. Leave it for next year just because... Serve yourself two slices of cake, one for you and one for the person who baked it... It matters. And lastly, make sure to make your wish with your eyes closed... No peeking... If it comes true, it came true because you did your best... And if it doesn't come true, you'll know that you did your best.
Odd that I would reference the word, "wish," two days in a row (see yesterday's post). This is all leading to something deeper... I can feel it.
It's raining again and "Ballerina Out Of Control" is serenading me from a few feet away. I haven't listened to it in 2009 and I will say that it sounds as fresh as it ever did... If you've heard it, you know how special it is and if you haven't, go... Go now. Find it. Make it yours.
"Wrapped In Piano Strings" just started... Another surprise. Today seems to be off to a fine start. I love the line, "Few words could open me. But you knew them all."
It's time to go now... bsm*
