The party is over…

Or has it just begun?

Yup – all my buttons got pressed in the weeks before my 40th birthday party.  I worried whether people would come, whether I invited the right people, whether I would have to take care of people too much, whether they would get along, whether I have control issues, if it was too much money…I think that’s about it.  But, it turned out to be a lot of fun.

Some people opted out of the crafting part of the party and that turned out to fine.  I was glad that people took care of their financial issues and since I had already decided to stop worrying, I was able to enjoy everything and let it all happen.  Yes, one friend was manic the entire time, and another didn’t get to talk to everyone else at dinner because she was entertaining the manic friend, but all in all, it was more fun than I ever imagined it would be!

I think it proved that I don’t have to worry about my friends and that they all can get along together.  I think I’d like to try it more often!

And now, I am happy the birthday celebrations are over.  I am excited to keep my internal fires burning and plan to approach every day as a birth day.
