33

I'm now 33 years old.  I had a wonderful day, despite the events that surrounded April 17th, which turned my favorite time of year into an awful time of pain, loss, and suffering for so many. 

I felt guilty having such a wonderful time with my wonderful husband in New Hampshire, that included:

a hike in the snow,

a moose sighting,

 beautiful views,

a frozen margarita,

beer in a mason jar,

potato chips for breakfast,

more beautiful views,

a road trip past lakes and mountains,

fried seafood,

and a delicious birthday cake.

It was a great trip and a great day and instead of feeling guilty, I need to focus on how lucky I am to have such an amazing husband, a fabulous family, and especially the fact that I'm able to celebrate another year of my life!

Take a look at "A Brief For The Defense" by Jack Gilbert. In the face of suffering, "We must risk delight."
