Happy Birthday!

OK so it is 4 months and 11 days until I turn the big "40"

So I thought I would start celebrating now by sharing with everyone what makes me smile and look forward to another year older.

I have an amazing savior who loves me all the time !

My husband is hot and he works so hard and loves his family.

Those little gifts from God that I am so privileged to call my children.

A rock steady group of girls that I can call my "village peeps" and my

more then I deserve friends stretching as far as D.C. to Ill. , Co, NV,TX,El Salvador,WA., and the good old Ca. My friends are outstanding.

My savior and my family and my friends have continued to grow me and teach me so much over the years that as 40 approaches I can't wait to see what else I will savor and treasure like I have already.

I am not sure of what the future holds for me but I try hard to not dwell on that but live fully for the day that I have been given.

Loving and learning from the people that I have been blessed with and the things that I get to do.

40 is just a number but today is an opportunity to make a difference.

Here is a list of things that I cherish and enjoy

a smile

kind word

clean house

a good cup of coffee

an incredible ocean

I could go on and on but my heart swells with such satisfaction in knowing that those are the things that I treasure and I have had the opportunity to enjoy all of them at some time or another.

May we all count are blessings and share some with someone else.

Everyone has birthdays I think we should not just celebrate the one day but everyday so we never forget how great a gift we have been given.

Happy Birthday!

You know it's someones birthday today.
