birthday shout-out

to erik (yesterday)and to toni (today). good friends for the last 13 years.

to adette (tomorrow). jvp partner and ever-reliable officemate. ;p

and to me...
the past few months have been strenous, to say the least. responsibilities, both chosen and not chosen, fell on my shoulders. most of which i wasn't really ready for. my body is near exhaustion. i've been getting sick every month which is probably because of the stress. i miss the nights when all i have to think about is what time i want to sleep. since i started school, sleep hasn't been that good. and bottomline of each day that is all i want -- a good night's sleep with not thoughts of work or school or relationships but rather a chance for solitude and tranquility.

so on my birthday, i wish for a good night's sleep, one without worry nor concern.

this is not to say that i have not been positive. i am. mass has proven to be a solace these past few weeks. an hour of surrender... well not even, because thoughts of school and work would suddenly come. however... that hour of the day provides me with an opportunity to just be thankful for people around me and for blessings i receive.

but really, my birthday wish is to be not so tired and for a good relationship with my bed.
