the snuggly and delightful expectations of "23"

I learned a little something from my Grandma Judy S. concerning birthdays, and that is to not overwhelm yourself with celebrating on only one day. Spread it out, take it easy, enjoy the week. And that is exactly what I've done! Best decision ever.

I've spent moments (and delicious meals) of the week with beloved family members. I achieved one of my 2012 goals. I spent some time basking in the calm of the temple. And I've had time to reflect.

There's something cozy about the number "23". It just feels good. It screams "Give it your all!" and "You will love this!" It feels like peace, health, excitement, and... dare I say... LOVE, are at my fingertips. It feels like snuggling up in a warm oversized sweatshirt and just enjoying the day. 23, I love you already!
