Happy birthday to me…!

Thank you everyone for all the sms-es, poke, wall-post, testimonials, phone calls, gifts, baloon (?) and of course the surprise party. You guys are awesome! Owh, and btw, I know that the bacardi’s effect to me was a little bit shocking, but no worry – I wasn’t drunk or anything. It just me and my “excellent blood flow” excuse excuse :p

I dunno what else to write now, so I think I’m just going to paste this lovely poem that I read yesterday. How should I fill the rest of my dash?

The Dash by Linda Ellis I read of a man who stood to speak, at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning … to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth … and now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; the cars … the house … the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard … are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left. You could be at “dash mid-range.” If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile … remembering that this special dash might only last a while. So, when your eulogy’s being read with your life’s actions to rehash … will you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash?
