Today I am 43 years old- which is a "7" in numerology I am told and supposedly your body regenerates every 7 yrs and 7 is my lucky number so I say this is my year ... to what?
to evolve ...
to become who I was meant to be ...
to accept the whole of me ...
to push where my talents lie ...
to trust my intuition ...
to honor my boundaries ...
to nurture the friends who nuture me ...
to expect greatness, joy, and love ...
and to know that I deserve it.
This is what I have learned about myself
so far in this life ...
I am impatient
I am creative
I am a painter
I am a photographer
I am a wife
I am a mother
I am a good friend
I am kind
I am generous
I am quick to judge myself
I want to fix things for others but I am learning when it is my job and when it is not
I am a lover of horses on the most basic level of my being
I find art in food and in wine
I have true friends
I don't trust many, but when I do it is forever
I am loved
What a great post! Knowing yourself and trusting yourself are two incredible gifts. It sounds like this day is full of presents already. :0) Sending you much JOY and great, big birthday hugs, too!

Birthdays are such a wonderful time to be introspective and you have certainly given this a lot of thought. I do like the idea of every year being "the best year ever". The signs are certainly pointing in that direction.
Happy Birthday, my true friend.

Dear G--In May I will be 26 years older than you (do the math :) )and many of the statements you have made are still also on my list(--mine being I am a musician.. I adore dogs, etc.)--that is: to judge beauty on the INside and to unearth one's true path in life as best one can with life's vagaries...it is a never-ending quest...Happy 43rd & many more.
