19 Memories of My 19th Year

Day 19

In my 19th year I lived.
This countdown ends tonight and I thought it would be most appropriate to declare that I lived in my 19th year. I really do believe I embraced life. I loved life. I lived.
I am a pretty simple person. I would rather just spend a birthday around a dinner table at P.F. Changs with the family then have any extravagant or expensive party or outing. I would rather be with the people I love rather than do things. I would rather talk on the phone then text. I would rather communicate one on one than be in a huge group. I would rather have someone write me a note that they appreciate something I do rather than give me a gift. I guess the list could go on and on. The truth is that I love the simple things in life. And for me, doing the simple things every day helps me to recognize how great my life really is. In my 19th year I lived. I lived a simple life, but a life that I am thankful for every day.
