Thank you. I was feeling sorry for myself and crying "poor me" over my birthday and being lonely, but this has helped. I don't have the right to feel miserable. It is ME who created these expectations of how I should feel on my birthday, and it is ME who set myself up for disappointment. If I just let go and look around at all of the blessings in my life, I can see that I truly do not have any right to be miserable. This is hard! But I hope to get better at it as time goes on. Thanks again.
