51

Every year on my birthday I write a long list of things I have learned in the last 365 days of my life.

This year's list starts with: BE CAREFUL ON YOUR BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I stress that enough? Good, got that one out of the way. 

Second: BE PATIENT!!!! I have limited ability for self patience and I am sorry to say I am not diligently approaching a strategy for solving the problem so most of the time I rant - sorry if I have held you up from meetings, patients, meals and/or general life events due to my incessant whining. 

Third: FRONT CLOSING BRAS ROCK!! who was that genius?? THANK YOU genius! 

On to more; COMMUNITY ROCKS! you know that "if you build it they will come?" well ... if you ask they will help. I've never had an issue with making an ass of myself so I have asked and they have helped, from "Would you mind helping me with my coat?" to "Would you mind carrying this to my table?" and more so ... THANK YOU!

More; Caring for someone deeply is risk business, make the investment. Ottawa is really far away, geographical distance - ugh, yuck. Let go, but only a little. Call your parents, they miss you. TOUCH. LOVE, talk, show or TEXT love often.

Be kind.  Ask, don't assume. Find someone to hug.  Dance often.  Be thankful and say thank you. Be grateful  and show it. Be mindful and breathe. Find beauty. Once more, LOVE, talk, show or TEXT love often.

Here I go, with any luck once more around the sun.
