today is my birthday. today i turn 35 years old. as my brother was so kind to remind me; today i am half way to 70. there are so many moments and so many days in our lives that shape us. some of the moments are bad but undoubtly make us stronger. many of the moments are filled with laughter and smiles.
i am sure 35 years ago about this time my mom was justing starting labor and she likes to remind me that i wasn't actually born until a little after 11:00pm; so techinically i can't celebrate until then. she was probably anticipating my arrival wondering if i was a boy or a girl. eventually i arrived and as much as i'd like to remember our first few moments together i just can't. now that i am a mother and have shared those same wonderful moments loving and hugging and kissing my babies in those first few minutes. i imagine that i never felt so loved as i did then. i appreciate all that my mom has done for me and given me and wouldn't be the woman if it not for her. thank you mommy, happy my birthday to you!
i've had a wonderful weekend celebrating with family and friends and have my wonderful husband to thank for that. he's done a fantastic job spoiling and loving me; not only for my birthday but recently. i appreciate all his love and support.
i am extremely blessed and thank God for all of my opportunities.
