So I had another BIRTHDAY on April 30th. My Mom planned a dinner party with some of my lifelong friends and surprised me by flying my sister Amy in from New York. It was a fun weekend, even though I have been dreading this particular mile marker on the journey that is life.
Birthdays are moments in time when I was meant to arrive into this life experience. If I had been
born at any other time, I would be a completely different person. And yet it
seems that looking back, I spent much of my time and energy wishing I looked
like someone else or had a different
life. Why do we do that? Let’s ENJOY this time by accepting who we are, as is, and
be HAPPY on this BIRTHDAY! Of course this makes me think (MMT) and write a SONG about it…
Turning of an age
I see the candles on a cake
And wonder where am I suppose to be by now?
On a no back track
I picture what lies up ahead
And make myself get out of the bed to take next steps...
Moving into
chapter two
On to thirty
Forty, fifty
Birthdays
Celebrate
Life is good
When we're living
Presently
OoooOH, presently
Friends and family call
To wish me well, posts on the wall
Bring out a smile, inside I still feel like a child
Do I blow a wish?
Or is it more about the breath?
That I take in to capture moments of alive
Moving into
Chapter two
On to thirty
Forty, fifty
Birthdays
Celebrate
Life is good
When we're living
Presently
OoooOH, presently
Learning to be healthy is happy
Loving and feeling it all
Now choosing the things I want to receive
Throwing the other trash out
Writing a new
Chapter two
On to thirty
Forty, fifty
Unafraid!
Celebrate
Life is good
Loving and living
Presently
OooooOH, presently

Baby Steps
Sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong life
But that regret will lead you to mistep
The body is sluggish; aware is weightless
Thankful I'm breathing; feeling aliveness
Ahhhhhhh
Where do I go from here?
I can't undo the past
Present is all I have
Taking the baby steps
Putting one foot front of the other
Waking up, gonna get it together
I'm putting one foot front of the other
Taking the baby steps
Lessons I'm learning are blocks for building
A strong foundation of understanding
The valley's deep but I'm getting through it
All part of process. Come on let's do this!
Ahhhhhhh
Where do I go from here?
I can't undo the past
Present is all I have
Taking the baby steps
Putting one foot front of the other
Waking up, gonna get it together
I'm putting one foot front of the other
Taking the baby steps
Some moments are peaks
And some hit the pits
But you can climb out of it
Some days will be good
And some things are tough
But present is always love
It never fails
So don't give up!
AhhhhhhhCHOO! Haha

Waking up, gonna get it together
I'm putting one foot front of the other
Taking the baby steps
Taking the baby steps
Taking the baby steps...
