I missed my deadline.

Yesterday was my birthday and I didn’t post. I could easily write a story about how I gave myself a day off from writing because it was my birthday — but that would be a lie.

I was busy.

But I was busy in the best kind of way.

Incredible gifts, the kindest words, a trip down memory lane and pushing the wee hours with some of my closest friends.

It’s just a day. But it’s also a perfect excuse to have a great time.
