Happy Birthday to me!

On the heels of an “attitude” post, when I had to add in a poor-me aside, I thought I’d remind myself and the blog world that it IS about attitude, and it IS about finding things that make you happy. This picture represents a day quite recently that I felt like a queen, walked on air when in actuality I was walking in mud! I joined my friends in my jeep club on a run to the Barstow area, it was a fairly easy run as far as the jeeping goes, but it was after a heavy rain and the mud holes were the obstacles. The day was warm and still, the company was extensive and boisterous, and the occasion was my 45th birthday. Well the day was coincidently timed but I took the occasion to celebrate. Unbeknownst to me the group passed around a birthday card for all to sign, they gave me a present (Jeep logo of course) and allowed me the honor of “first to find” on 3 separate occasions of geocaching along the way. There was laughing, corned beef sandwiches, m & m’s, and mud. LOTS of mud, the kind that invites you to splash through fast and watch the fan tail coat the jeep from nose to tail, gun it while you’re half way through and coat the guy behind you.

It was a happy day indeed!
