Thirty-Six

Yes, Our Heroine is That Old.

I am thirty-six today.

I let my birthday go unremarked-upon last year on WoT (except for the coy title). Needless to say I did not get that job. When I re-read last year's post, I actually had to go to my calendar to even remember what the interview was for.

This year, however, I am not coy. I am, however, insanely busy. I have a bunch of freelance work to get through, and I also have to go in to DC and see the photographer to review the proofs of the photo shoot from last week.

So, happy birthday to me - I'm off to decide: mermaid, camel, or down dog? Do I feel like singing, spitting, or howling? And just exactly how kind was that lighting to my thirty-six-year-old cellulite?

From today's "Daily Hindu Wisdom" an appropriate quote for a very un-enlightened heroine:

"Enlightenment is merely an impersonal happening. We give it the taint of personal achievement. Therefore the question arises, "What is an enlightened being like?" There is no such thing as an enlightened person. Enlightenment is merely another event. There is a flood, a fire, an earthquake; there is enlightenment, just as one happening in the whole process, all part of the phenomenal process."
