This week includes 3 birthdays in my family. My oldest son’s, mine, and my youngest son’s. So close to another significant (to some) birthday, this is a very busy month for us. Makes me think about what we are actually celebrating – the anniversary of someone’s presence on the planet and in our lives.
I celebrate my birthday because I am thrilled to be alive. I don’t hide my age, i crow about it. I am 41 today. I spend the day thanking God that I was born, and for the people that I have had the privilege of being around. My sons’ birthdays I spend making them crazy – I like hugs and they don’t. 
I celebrate birthdays because I am thankful that the people in my life were born and for the enrichment they give to my life. I’m glad I got to meet you and to know you. Thanks for being on the planet. :party:
I ceebrate your birthday because I love you and cannot imagine my life without you. You are my sister, my friend, my confidant…and I am beyond blessed to have you in my life. 🙂
Everyone that meets you is blessed to do so isen, you are a rarity in this world, a girl like few others, unique in your own way, and very much so a shining beacon of light for all that look to you for guidance. Happy belated Birthday isen ^_^
