I am in a dim room. I can see vague forms around me, and hear breathing and nervous giggling. I feel the anticipation build. I see a faint glow coming towards me, getting brighter and flickering. I smell recently lit matches. I can hear my family singing; "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"
****My challenge this week - write everything in the first person, and include as many senses as possible.****

- I'm in my 30's and trying to become a reformed workaholic. I've decided it is time to bite the bullet and try working to live, and not living to work. I'm stepping out of my (dis)comfort zone and getting a life.
