That Special Day
So that special day is upon me. The one where I have reached the milestone of navagating the earth for another 365 days. All that twilring and spinning in space happened much too fast. Don’t even know what all I did for all those days.
Some were fun events. A signed copy of a novel of an author I met. Quick trip to get a horse. A weekend on horseback that I had wanted to do since I was 6. We had a blast, my Dad, my sister and me on our horses. Quick camping trip out west. Good visits with family, friends. Losing weight and gaining some new clothes. Little arms around my neck. Making my first scrapbook page.
Some required work. Fixing a bathroom. Painting a kitchen. Staining a door. The daily grind of life cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. Losing weight.
Some were necessary. Braces. Shingles. Oral surgery. Ok painful too. Falling off a horse.
Some were lifes milestones. Kids starting school, going on to the next grade. Birthdays, swimming, t-ball, VBS, scouts and all those children’s activities you wouldn’t want to miss. Another anniversary with my sweetheart. Kids to Drs for illnesses and stitches.
When you think about all the things you do in a day, a week, a month or a year it adds up to be a lot. It is funny how all the little things just happen and you carry on with the daily grind. I really think there is something to be said for stopping and smelling the roses. Especially when there are three beautiful roses growing like weeds and keeping you busy everyday.
I don’t know what my next trip around the sun will bring. I hope I enjoy every minute. Yes, I know every minute won’t be great. You just take each moment as it comes.
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday Jen!
XXOO!
