Oh, Lord, I hope I got the date right this year :) How old are you again? 29? (Yikes! That's how old I am). Well, I've been thinking about you all week and hope you're doing something wonderful and relaxing today. Every year that it's your birthday, I get this great Simpson's song in my head, replete with Lisa playing the saxaphone in the end of the song a la Ronnie Ross at the end of Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side (okay, maybe a little happier).
I get the feeling I write you this every year, but I feel doubly blessed to have you as a friend and to have you as an Aries companion. I still feel that finding your note asking for help with the Foundation and with Tia (who was 1 1/2 years old!) was kismet. It's like it floated down there just to have me see it, and of course, the minute I spoke to you on the phone, I was sure good things were going to happen. The first night I went to meet you, I stayed for dinner until 10:30, I think :) That is a testament to you and to your family (and to your family because of you). You have influenced me in ways you don't know, probably in ways I've never told you, but your approach to life, your melding of different spheres of influence to create something new and creative and wonderful have deeply, deeply affected the way I approach my life and the way I feel comfortable with myself and in my skin. It's not because you're older (only slightly) or taller (sigh), although, haha, maybe that has something to do with it, but no, I really admire and respect and look up to you. You have an ease and a grace and a passion that I hope to emulate and try, in little ways, to bring into my life. From something as simple as drinking stevia with my tea in the morning (though no smooth move, haha) out of one of your cups, you have been woven into the daily motions of thoughts of my life, and I am better, so much better for it.
I am so sorry not to see you today :( And, I have lots of work in the next few weeks, but maybe we could meet first-second week of May? Or sooner. Just let me know when.
I love you!
xoxo,
love,
Sarah
