...and I'll cry if I want to.

I've been going through some pretty rough stuff in the personal realm lately. You know those times in life when you feel like things can't possibly get any worse-- and then they do? Story of my life. It ain't pretty but I suppose I should be grateful for my health, right?

The best birthday gift I've received this year is the support and concern of my friends. The road ahead still looks rocky from where I stand but I'm feeling very lucky to have people in my life who care about me and are willing to share themselves with me when I'm in need AND when things are not-so-sucky. Thanks, guys. 

Don't worry. I'm not turning The Verdant Life into The Sad Sappy Whiny Life! Far from it. Instead, I got you this donut cake to share with me in honor of my birthday. See? Dig in.

P.S. You probably already guessed this but I'm not turning six today. :)

You should 'like' The Verdant Life on .
