I had a really good birthday this year.
Their was nothing extravagant about it - was fairly low key. It wasn't a major milestone birthday. I did receive some very nice, thoughtful gifts: a stylish new winter jacket, a Buddha Board, delicious Rain Coast crackers & brie cheese and CDs. A very nice lunch with Michelle @ Mango Shiva.
The weather was very pleasant on my birthday too - something that is rarely the case this time of year.
I also made a major step forward in my art career, made (more or less) official on my birthday. It's been a year of real lows and great difficulty for family - but now things are starting to feel like they are turning around and heading in a more positive direction - like I'm finding more purpose in my life again.
What really made the birthday was family & friends. Very heartfelt (and wordy!) cards, greetings & time spent together that really made me feel loved and appreciated. I am very fortunate & I need to take the time to remember that more often.

“Abstract paintings are like fictitious models because they visualize a reality which we can neither see nor describe which we nonetheless conclude exists. We attract negative names to this reality: the un-known, the un-graspable…[for centuries] we have depicted in terms of absolute images like heaven and hell. With abstract painting we create a better means of approaching what can neither be seen nor understood because abstract painting illustrates with the greatest clarity…since everything unknown frightens us and fills us with hope at the same time, we make these images as a possible explanation…or as a way of dealing with it.” ~ Gerhard Richter
