Birthday

Well, today is my 47th Birthday. I have not done a blog post with words in a few weeks. I have been looking back through what I have written this past few months, weeks.....and I reflect on the post I did at New Years, realizing that I am not keeping up with my end of the bargain I made with myself. Oh well. The year is not over yet!!!!

I will say this.....I am now 47. I am pretty healthy(not totally). I am very happy, very lucky and EXTREMELY blessed.
I have too much (more than someone should) in my life. I have an amazing family, loving husband-too loving, most of the time, I also have two daughters that are the best gifts I have ever received. I have a mother who I admire and a sister who I thank God for and a father (who is with the angels in heaven) who did the very best he could all his life. I have friends who are too good for me, people in my life who really like (and love) me and the chance to sleep in a warm home and have a great meal three times a day. I need or want for nothing.

Life is a blessing every single day. I pray it continues and thank God for the 47 years I have had on this earth.

I have done things I should not have done, been places I should not have been, I have regretted things and would not do some of those things over but would change only a few things if given the chance. All in all, it is what I would have hoped my life would be. I am the luckiest woman alive and I firmly believe God has been responsible for all my blessings.

Thanks to everyone in my life....everyone....even my enemies.....for without them, I would not be who I am today. My favorite scripture is Matthew 5:48..."Be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect" which comes after the loving our enemies part in Matthew. I live this as best I can.

So, Happy Birthday to me. May all the days I have left in this life be as good and blessed as the ones I have already had. And thanks to God and everyone for being in my life.....I am blessed.

"It's All Good"





And here is my birthday aside........We share a birthday, I hope I look better at 50 than she does!


According to Mattel lore, Barbie's full name is Barbie Millicent Roberts. A press release from 2009 said, in part, "Barbie doll -- Barbie Millicent Roberts -- was 'born' on March 9, 1959, in (fictional) Willows, Wisconsin." March 9th of 1959 was the date that the doll was first introduced at the annual New York Toy Fair.
