“He talks about a guy who was always happy, always positive, and someone asked him, ‘Why are you always happy?’ His answer was that everything in life is a choice – you can choose to be happy or choose to be upset about it…If you choose to be happy all the time, and you choose to be positive, then you’re going to live a good life and succeed a lot.” – Mark Herzlich, probable NFL draft pick and cancer survivor, at the NFL combine.

Today is my birthday!! Woot woot! But before we get too excited, I have to tell you that I am extremely touch and go with such days. Fortunately, I haven’t had a bday meltdown since the Disaster of 2004:
Me, between sobs: Now I’m never going to be a professional tennis player!
Mom: You’ve never played tennis.
Me: Exactly…I’m never going to be an Olympic gymnast…
Mom: You got kicked out of classes when you were five because they thought you were going to hurt yourself…
Me: I should have been more driven.
With that said, I think I might be due for the next one. And it scares me. So handle with care today. If you make some crack about me being closer to 30 than 20 and I start to cry, don’t take it too seriously. It’s just me being obnoxiously oversensitive to getting older. But really, anyone who says something like that is kind of a jerk.
Here’s to the Big 2-7! Cheers!

If someone had told me in January that 2010 was going to turn out the way it did, I probably would have burst out crying…in fact, I’m pretty sure someone (or several people) did try to tell me this, and I most definitely did burst out crying. So thank you to those people all those months ago. You were right. I was wrong. Admitting defeat is going to be one of my New Year’s resolutions.
There are so many adages and clichés I could use to sum up this past year – “We plan, God laughs;” “Everything happens for a reason;” “Roll with the punches;” and my least favorite of all time: “You can’t get to the rainbow without going through the rain.” Ugh. But it’s so true.
