How was your weekend? We celebrated my birthday with a number of of my favourite issues, together with an eggy breakfast and lanky youngsters…

First, I wakened early and met my pal at Head within the Clouds, a woman-owned Brooklyn spa the place they offer you tea and cookies, and therapeutic massage your face and shoulders, and wash and dry your hair, and by the top, you’re mainly in a dream state. Have you ever ever had a head therapeutic massage? Such a deal with.

Then we walked over to Diner for eggs and mimosas, the place we noticed a number of cute toddlers in huge winter snowsuits, which felt like a birthday reward in itself, haha.

Afterward, I went dwelling and handled myself to a lazy afternoon spent studying on the couch. Then, at 4 p.m., my doorbell rang. Once I opened the door — shock! — my pal’s daughter walked in with a GIANT bundle of balloons. After her adopted her brother with one other GIANT bundle. Behind him, one other brother…and so forth, till the room was full of balloons, and my pal’s household began singing “comfortable birthday,” and we have been all laughing hysterically. Their supply jogged my memory of a quote from the e book The Energy of Moments: “beware the soul-sucking drive of reasonableness.” Sure! It was an elite drop by.

That night, a number of extra buddies, plus Toby and Anton, gathered for ice cream sundaes and humorous conversations. It was such a beautiful day, and though I’m the one grownup in our home, I really feel like we now have such an enormous household round us. Thanks for the candy birthday needs! What have been you as much as this weekend?
