Something You Can’t Buy...
Today is my 57th birthday (okay, so it’s really my 62nd but who’s counting) and I am AMAZED by all the birthday wishes I received via Facebook! I don’t look at Facebook every day so I have missed wishing some people a happy birthday but I am going to try to do better in the future.
I spent my birthday at Sisters but I’m okay with that, lots of people work on their birthday. Four special visitors came to see me late in the day….what’s better than that!?!
I think we all have sort of a love/hate relationship with our birthday. Most of us love the good wishes, the funny messages, the warm feeling and the love we feel on our special day. I’m happy I’m here another year….I still have a lot of “stuff” to get done.
Some of us don’t like thinking about being another year older, having a few more gray hairs (or less hair) or adding another pound or two to our “bottom line”. Honestly, none of those things bother me. I could color my hair to get rid of the gray hairs and I could be thinner if I’d cut back on sweets (not likely) but that’s not the thing that is at the top of my wish list.
What’s at the top of my wish list? If I could have anything I wanted, it would be for my kids (I consider my daughter-in-law to be one of my kids) and my grandkids to live long, healthy and happy lives and that’s something you can’t buy…k
