Today's Bliss: Birthdays

Today is my 28th birthday. I am so blissful today: it is beautiful outside, my parents called me with their traditional birthday song, I had a great morning with N...running errands, choosing my gift, eating a yummy cupcake for lunch...and tonight is date night. What a great birthday!

Looking back at all of my years of birthdays, I see how great it was to have a loving family around me for every single birthday that I have had. Whether I was a little girl with a delicious cake ordered to match my carefully chosen birthday party napkins or I was away at college and received a surprise flower delivery, my family and friends have always been there to help me celebrate. I am blessed.

Tomorrow night we will have a celebration with N's parents and my parents. Every time I look around at the six of us together, I am thankful. Thankful for a husband who loves me and an expanded family who cares for us deeply.

Spend a moment in the sun, basking in the glow of the blessings that you have. Happy day!
