Happy birthday to my love

I leave for my weeklong ayurvedic retreat tomorrow and will miss Ramesha’s actual birthday next week.

So, tonight we had a simple celebration at home — just the two of us. No candles (the photo is just for fun), but a deliciously healthy pasta dinner followed by a super chocolatey cupcake for dessert.

It’s bittersweet, because this is the first time in nineteen years that I won’t be celebrating with him on his special day. But it’s for a good cause!
