Oh my! 55 .. when did that happen? Do you ever stop and wonder how you got so many numbers next to your name? Jack asked me the other day how old I was and I held up both hands and said 55. He held up one hand and said I'm 5 .."we're almost the same!"
I started to let this birthday "get to me". But God knew better .. He used my family, friends and circumstances to remind me that this year is a new beginning for me. "Its the little moments that make life BIG! " Kisses from itty bitty kids, friends crashing into my bedroom at 6:30 in the morning singing "you've got a friend" .. phone calls, cards, flowers, dinner out with 3 wonderful daughters, a caterpillar spinning a cocoon right in front of our very eyes .. all crying out to my very soul saying " you are not alone". God sends us His love with "skin on" thru the very people He has placed "on purpose" into our lives.
So thank you everyone.. this birthday turned out to be one of the best ones yet! I am very very blessed .. and I am looking forward to this year .. a new beginning.
