Happy Anniversary!

I love to celebrate special occasions. In fact it doesn't even have to be a well known, nationally recognized holiday for me to want to celebrate. Yet I've found that I don't have to spend money, or decorate, or even eat cake (which is one of my most favorite things to do - especially if I make the cake myself) in order to feel celebratory.

For the most part I've found that I can just keep reminding myself why I ought to feel happy and, I do. Too bad this doesn't work on any random day when I'm feeling craptacular. I suppose I can't trick even myself because it seems that I know when there's something legitimate to celebrate and just some placebo celebration to put some pep in my step.

Either way, today holds a real reason to celebrate something really quite wonderful. Today has been 6 months that Thumper and I have been together! Yeah! To me 6 months is a big deal, not as big a deal as 1 year, but a big deal nonetheless.

We didn't do anything to celebrate. I'm not even really sure that he realizes it's been 6 months, but all day I felt like I was walking on air, which really is no different from how I feel on a daily basis since we first started dating.

I feel happy! Which actually, that word, "happy", doesn't do justice to what I'm really feeling. I feel light and airy. I feel butterflies in my stomach. I feel like a girl in love.
