hmmm…..
Today is my birthday. No, it didn’t make the national headlines but it is significant to me. There are not many overly famous people who share my birthday so it’s not really that special. My Dad loves to tell the story about racing my Mom to the hospital in their new Chevy pick up truck for my delivery; I think snow was involved but I am not for sure. Anyway, I made it into the world and have celebrated every year since.
Today I celebrate my good health, my beautiful daughter and wonderful family. I celebrate good friends who love me even at my worst. There’s my home with its stunning view off the back deck and lovely front porch for reading, writing and relaxing -- a good car that takes me where I want to go and daily work that brings me joy. I rejoice in the support and love of my church family. My life has not always been this good, and I know that life ebbs and flows – we have good times and not so good. Sometimes the bad even outweighs the good. It all flows together to become the river of our lives.
Today let your life flow. Celebrate the good times and overcome the bad. Be well. Be brave. Be kind. Be strong. When I blow out the candles on my birthday cake today, that will be my birthday wish for you.
hmmm…..
