I am officially 28!Sitting at the dining room table this morning, drinking my tea quietly before any of the kids woke up, I looked over at the hutch (china cabinet to some) and saw all my birthday cards. All I could think was that I am blessed.
Blessed enough to have a family that will drive 2-3 hours each way just to spend the day with me. Blessed that I gained the best extended family through marriage. Blessed that I have friends who are genuine. Blessed to have beautiful daughters & a loving husband who make my life fulfilled. Blessed to have those who couldn't share the day with me call, send cards or even just send a Happy birthday over the computer.
Funny how the days leading up I was stressed because I couldn't believe how another year had passed & how I was getting to be " my Mom's age" that she was when I think about my childhood.
But taking a minute this morning to reflect on the past year, I realized how much I have gone through, my daughter being born, the trials of being newlyweds & having a newborn, moving, friendship & family limits being tested, losing friendships, gaining friendships, I just realize how absolutely lucky I am that my kids are healthy & happy, that I am in love, that I have a wonderful family & I have gained such happy & hilarious friendships. I kept looking at all the cards all I kept thinking is how I feel so blessed.
