Are life reflections only meant for New Year's???

Always seems that we often look back on our lives during the Holiday seasons, as a New Year enters are lives, we reflect on the past and things we want to accomplish in the new year to come, however, the annual Birthday brings us floating backwards, it does for me anyways.
A completely different life has shown itself to me in the last 364 days. A glimpse back and I truly wonder sometimes if I am in fact living this life or I am watching from the sidelines.
I was sitting at my friends, who's family graciously offered me living accommodations until I found something suitable, I was alone and waiting to see what a day at Whistler for my Birthday was going to be like. A Monkido was upon me, exercise for your 40th Birthday?? The beautiful surroundings were, as everyone describes, breathtaking.
Matthew, a work colleague, created a fantastic day that I will have fond memories of forever. The mountains are indescribably overwhelming and wondrous and magical. The Monkido was an aerial obstacle course that I was thrilled to accomplish. The people, the beautiful blue skies, it was all so fabulous and if I couldn't spend it at HOME, well then this was a fantastic substitute indeed.
As I sit, looking into my 41st Birthday tomorrow, I have changed locations, jobs, homes, lost some incredibly gifted and amazing friends, gained some, but in the end.....I kept the ones that supported me and stayed true to who they really were all about.
Tomorrow, 41 and I seem to wonder the same things I did a year ago for myself. The dreams that I have had since I was a young girl are still around, perhaps growing inside stronger and truer then they ever have, and I look forward to where my life is going.
In a few months, I will go home, and celebrate the very best time of year at Disney and this time, I have figured out, that all my dreams have no limitations......
I can walk forward tomorrow and throughout the time I am left here, knowing that I can do ANYTHING!!
So, tomorrow, although she won't be directly in front of me, waving at me, throwing special BIRTHDAY PIXIE DUST at me and granting me BIRTHDAY WISHES.....
I know that all my dreams are coming TRUE and my Fairy God Mother is secretly pushing me forward......


"this is my Birthday song, it isn't very long........HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
