Laura

Wishes Come True

Thank you Kevin ❤️

Born in twilight hour, upon October’s sky

Her dreams shine bright, found up so high 

A child of the Night, a daughter of the Moon

Wanderer’s soul, musing to her own tune

Threads of life woven with laughter and tears

Decades pass softly of illuminating years  

With every breath taken, a bittersweet toll

Upon canvas of time, reveals an old soul 

Recollecting depths of where her spirit’s journey has been

Of knowledge, of secrets, of thoughts kept within 

With fate’s deviations, life’s path unplanned

Even in hard times, on her feet – she lands

Memories linger, like scent of rose petals in air 

From wind in dreams, sweet feeling so rare 

Though chapters of time may be laced with goodbye

Forever she is grateful, for this beautiful life

The journey is long, but life is short (Thank you, Kevin) ❤️

As each year passes, do you feel accomplished, sad, bittersweet, wiser, like time is running out, happy, or did you think things would be different by now? A mix of some or all?

There is one thing I know for sure:

With all the pain, with all the tears, the feelings of inadequacy or shifting and feeling uneasy; hard moments and struggles with jobs or health, loss, grief, strife – I wouldn’t change where I am.

And the more years that pass, the more I feel comfortable with who I am.

I love myself, I love the amazing people who surround me, (one very special person in particular who stole my heart) 🥰 and I plan to do the best I can as time continues to march forward.

Thank you, for being here for me, and for joining me on my journey.

I am forever grateful. 🙏

For this life and the next. 🌹

  2. A very Happy Birthday again. I don’t know that words are truly enough to say how grateful I am that we met. There probably aren’t enough adjectives in the dictionary. My wish for you today is that you relax, enjoy and be happy. You more than deserve it. I would love to celebrate with you, but alas, duty calls.
    In all sincerity, thank you for everything. 😍🤗

  16. Hey happy birthday!! I totally share that feeling of being more comfortable with who you are as you get older. I’m doing things now I wouldn’t have dreamt of few years ago (worried what others would think). Heres to many many many more – I’ll have a birthday drink on your behalf!!

  29. I’m sure you will return to read this on future birthdays, perhaps marking a shift? It’s written so lovingly and with gentleness, appreciation for all that is your, yes quite illuminated, life. This is just lovely, as are you. ❤

      • Thanks so much. I had like 4 days of feeling okay. It’s frustrating, truly. Going back to bed now, thankful to be off but having to shake the nagging “You are behind” feelings. 🙂

      • Yeah I hate when it goes back and forth like that. Was able to get out a bit this morning so that was nice. Will be joining you in going back to bed though because I have to work at the recovery job tonight 😊 I know! I hate the “behind” too, feels like you’ll never catch up. Ugh ❤️ get some good rest!

      • Thanks. Sadly I close my eyes and cat-nap, blinking out for minutes, but then am wide awake again. I’m LOVING the rain today though, deeply restful, and I hope it makes your sleep sublime! ❤

      • Oh I hate that. Have you taken anything? That’s the worst, when you need rest and can’t get it. I love the rain too, went out for a bit in it this morning and it was feeling decent and a bit cooler ❤️ hope you can get some rest and feel well 🙏

      • Soooo nice, glad you got out into it! I can’t get over how steady and nice a rain it is. Supposed to continue a few days, but let’s see.

        I’ve been taking all kinds of things, too many things. Trying not to today, just chugging water and later I’ll eat something spicy.

  36. After reading your latest post I was thinking.. It is Friday, should you take a shower, a little makeup, choose something beautiful to wear, check out your hair, high heels and go out to some exciting place and showing how beautiful you are. A little dancing and flirting with nice guys but not taking anybody to your place. Just spending nice time and to feel being a pretty girl. Weekend and the full moon, it’s romantic. Just thinking 😊 If you go have a great time 💃 if not be a happy elf 🧚
