one year older, and wiser too...


I turned 38 on Saturday. The more birthdays I have, the more I dread them. The more I dread them, the better they are. When I was younger...much younger,...I looked forward to my birthday. I expected it to be an amazing day showered with perfect gifts and gestures. Of course it never lived up to my expectations. The older I get, and as I hate the fact I'm aging so fast, my birthdays seem to get better and better. This year was no exception. Breakfast in bed, made and brought to me by my sweet DD...An exciting and elaborate gift from my honey!!...a fun lunch with my in-laws and mama...a fun hour of snow fun with my babies...a 2 hr nap...a un-scheduled visit from my folks...watching the Olympics...many phone calls, e-mails, & texts from my homies...& several thoughtful gifts and gestures from my homies too.
See...a perfect Birthday...a perfect day!
So it's true with age, comes wisdom...just think how wise I'll be at 80...
