Happy Birthday to Me!

      

Today is my birthday! 

I am 43 years old today! A lot has happened in the last 43 years. 

I will spare you most of those details! You are welcome! 

To treat myself (other than the piece of cake I just had @ 2 am!)
 I made myself a birthday montage of some of my life. 

I thought I would share it with you! Not all of my family made the final cut, 

it would have to be a full length feature film to achieve that, 

but some key players are in there! 

In doing this I have done something that proves I am 

growing up, maturing, learning to accept myself, etc... 

Just a very short time ago I would NEVER have put a video of myself up anywhere, 

not facebook, youtube, anywhere for anyone else to see. 

I have always hated getting my picture taken. 

I have had it taken plenty, good thing or there would be very little footage to use. 

But I hated every picture and wish I wouldn't have stood there and posed. 

In choosing pics for this endeavor I took a good look at myself in them 

and I think, finally, that I don't look half bad in most of them. 

It doesn't bother me that this will be out there for all to see. 

I am definitely not an attention seeker but I'm ok with sharing my life now, 

even if that includes pictures. :)
