Today is the eve of my 26th birthday, one of many that I have celebrated while being somewhere new, not knowing many people. I believe highly in birthday celebrations, I believe strongly in getting dressed up on your birthday no other reason than it's your birthday. But I think this birthday is going to be very low key, it needs to be. And so, I'm going to be working in the office, attending a lunch with some ladies from church, attending the WELCA board meeting, leading our inaugural theology on tap meeting and then going to dinner with a friend or two...maybe go pay a visit a friend at fatso's to enjoy a festive beverage after.
A low key birthday is nice. I like low key birthdays, they give you time to think about all the things you've been blessed with. And I am blessed with 13 people who, beginning tomorrow, will join me on a 365 day journey through the bible. We will be following the ELCA's bible in one year program, complete with weekly optional meetings at Aimee's coffee shop on Mass. Street, a list serve and a blog. It should be a fun and interesting year that I'm very much looking forward to.
And so, I say goodbye to 25...what it was and what it wasn't, and hello to 26, complete with everything it will bring.
