Oh yeah, and I was born.
It's the big 40 this year. It's all downhill from here folks. And I mean that in the good way, like coasting. Or so I'm told. I'm actually looking forward to my 40's. Hopefully I have gained a little wisdom (no not weight!) over the years that will help make my next 40 a breeze. That's my birthday wish, anyway!
I had an absolutely wonderful birthday. Brody made me 12 cards and told me I looked like a monkey and smelled like one, too. Devin made me a birthday banner and had our special birthday dishes set out when I got up this morning (at 9:15!!). And Jordan got on my email and sent a message out to all my family and friends letting them know it was my birthday. Apparently my password isn't a well-protected secret! I have never been so showered with birthday wishes in all my life! Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, brought me gifts, flowers, cards, etc. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people who love and care about me.
As I learned from Kung Fu Panda this weekend, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That's why it is called the present."
Amen to that!!
