Thankful for Forty Years

Today is my birthday.

The Big 4-0.

Ouch.

It's Monday.

It rained.

I think I could complain, but I don't want to and I really don't have a reason to. 

I slept in until 8 a.m.  I had Sweet Frog Yogurt for lunch with my best friend and our kiddos.  My hubby took me for snow crab tonight.  I had two Blue Moons (love Blue Moon).  They even had orange slices.

I had a piece of cheesecake.

Many friends took time out of their day to wish me happy birthday on social media whether that was a text, a tweet or a facebook post.  It's nice to feel loved.

I spoke to everyone in my family today. 

I laughed a lot.

My kids painted my nails, fixed my hair and made me breakfast.

They even hung streamers. 

And three cute balloons.

I am blessed.

Here's to at least 40 more years of blessings.

  4. Sorry I missed the day! Wishing you a very happy birthday now that you're OVER 40. You'll get no sympathy from me. I'm to the point now where I think 40 sounds really young! But may you have so many more things to be grateful for with each passing year.
