Today is my 31st birthday. A year ago today, I was working at a job I hated. After work, Harry threw me a party, complete with both our families and baked me a Funfetti cake. I had heard of Twitter, but had not yet joined. Had you asked me a year ago today what I would be doing next year? I would have said spending the night with Harry, Emily and our cat Mitzie.
Instead…today, at midnight, I was on Twitter, getting nonstop birthday messages from new friends. I don’t have a job I have to go to, I try and work for myself. While money is very tight, I am so much happier. I’m hanging out with my new cat Gracie. I’m going to the city this afternoon to attend a Twitter meet-up of #140conf, which I attended over the summer.
It’s amazing how much can change in a year.
SIDE NOTE: I jokingly said I wonder if we could get #happybirthdaybecky to trend on Twitter and it’s actually taking off! That would be really cool birthday present from my tweeps, so please use it in your tweets:)
