Two years after spending a very splendid birthday here with all new friends. That was a very special birthday for me. It was my first birthday onboard the boat, after my marriage ended, and after losing my dad just a couple of months before. Despite the pain, loss and mourning, I was able to fully celebrate. All the great people around me managed to make me feel so at home, loved, and able to celebrate life in a way I&#8217;ve never really been able to do before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m still never sure how I&#8217;m going to be or feel during these sentimental times I come across where I&#8217;m supposed to celebrate. Especially when I use those times to assess all the changes and yes, loss I&#8217;ve experienced in my life thus far. <a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do, however, also try to use special times like these to look on all the good stuff too. Lucky for me, that&#8217;s not all that difficult. Despite all the bad stuff that&#8217;s happened to me (some quite recent), I find myself still able to smile about the good things, the good friends I&#8217;ve made, many of whom are scattered around the globe, the adventures and misadventures, the places I&#8217;ve been to, I can go on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So on this day starting my 43rd year on this rock, I can still say I feel very fortunate, lucky and just downright happy to be living life the way I am now. It helps that I still have my age guessed anywhere between 29 to 35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It helps alot. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theandiamo.com\/log_b2\/img\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\"\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Comment from: mietsie [Visitor]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">We know each right about two years now, \ud83d\ude42<br \/><br \/>We should celebrate that sometime too!<br \/><br \/>X mietsie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theandiamo.com\/log_b2\/tony.php?title=full_circle&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1#c23721\"><\/a> 03\/22\/07 @ 06:13 <a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Comment from: Elizabeth [Visitor]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Um&#8230;I&#8217;d say no older than 45.
