Birthday Thoughts

Well first and foremost I had the best birthday ever! My birthday is September 17 and i finally turned 18. Not really a big change in my life, but just happy that I made it thus far in life and thank God for still being alive.

Around 7pm my father dropped off a gift that I received from my mother. The most important gift that i received was a dragon fly necklace along with a poem that my mother found:

THE DRAGONFLY

Dragonflies are a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. the dragonfly is often represented in Japanese paintings, representing new light and joy. dragonflies are reminders that we are light and can reflect light in powerful ways if we choose to do so. "let there be light" is the divine prompting to use the creative imagination as a force within your life. they help you see through your illusions and allow your own light to shine in a new vision.

Traditionally, the dragonfly is the symbol of transformation and life's ever-constant process of change.

The image of the dragonfly sparks the creative power of the imagination.

Dragonflies are symbols of being carefree; to embrace dreams and change.

In Japan, dragonflies are symbols of courage, strength and happiness.

Some Native Americans believe that dragonflies are a symbol of renewal after a time of great hardship.

After reading that, it touched my heart deeply and I started to become very emotional.

Anyway can't wait to go home on FRIDAY!!!
