My Mid-Life Catharsis...
Happy Cinco De Mayo! Today is my forty fourth birthday! So, in honor of my mid-life, I wanted to drop a post to commemorate this day in history when a legend was born. Or, as George Thorogood sang, "When I was born, the head nurse spoke up, said leave this one alone, I could tell right away, she could tell right awy I was bad to the bone. Bbbbbad, bad to the bone." Cheers!!! (Photo cred: my boyfriend) Flag is from Harbor Freight $4.99 and it’s got the sewn stars! Recently I went on "a glamping trip" (that's a portmanteau for glamorous camping) with my boyfriend, and I woke up Sunday morning with the word "Catharsis" randomly in my head. I KNEW I had read that word plenty of times in college, especially in literature classes. But, having no coffee in me, I asked, "hey, what does catharsis mean?" My boyfriend: "ahhh I'm sleeping here." Silence. Him: "It means a shedding of your old self into your new self!"...
