Sunday was my birthday and amidst the many digital greetings I received, one in particular stood out. My cousin's 10-year-old daughter sent me this message on Facebook:
I'm proud of u and all ur accomplishments I hope one day I can be like u and have courage to do the things u do u mean the world to me and I think its amazing what u can do I believe in u and know matter what people say u can do it I know u can I've seen u do a lot of things u being couragous, out going, brave and strong rubs off on people ecpiecally me! I love and I hope u see that ur an amazing person!When you're busy trying to create something that impacts the world, it's easy to forget the affect you still have on your own small corner of it. It's nice to be reminded of the things that truly matter, which is why we celebrate birthdays in the first place.
Thanks to all who sent their love and wishes on Sunday. Thanks especially to my mom for giving me life in the first place. Here's to another year in this beautiful world.

not sure if this is any
Thanks, Hassan! I appreciate the encouragement. Happy belated birthday to you too:) A beer is definitely in order.
The self doubt and negativity that flows from the keyboard into this blog would be better suited to finding the personal cheerleader that Gina so desperately needs to thrive. Let us hope that the second fiddle may one day be a positive place.
Sorry to hear you feel that way. I strive to be as honest and self-effacing as possible in my writing. Since life isn't always peachy, that means acknowledging the hard times as well. That being said, I can appreciate that readers of this blog may prefer my more humorous and bubbly side. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your feedback!
