Oh my….another birthday come and gone. Thankfully, I’m not one of those people who gets all caught up in numbers. Far more important is
- who am I surrounded by this year? Who did I not know last year? Who will be brought into my life in the coming year?
- what things have I done right in the last year? What have I done wrong? What can I do to become better?
- has my relationship with God grown? Are there things I need to be doing to stretch myself?
- How is my health? Do I remember to be thankful for the health and happiness of those closest to me?
- Are my basic necessities covered? Food, shelter? Can I remember, daily, to be grateful because that puts me in a ridiculously small percentage of the worlds population.
- Am I helping others? Can I do more to help others?
My day was spent with my husband of many, many years. It was perfect from beginning to end. My daughter sent me a beautiful flower arrangement. My son texted me that my age means nothing….that I don’t really need to worry for a few more years. 🙂 Dozens of friends wished me a Happy Birthday.
I’m blessed…and even with the “bad” days…I am thankful. It was a happy birthday and it is going to be a beautiful year.
Have a blessed day, friends!
