There is one thing I can say for sure
about my life...
I have always felt very LOVED!!!
It's such an amazing
blessing and one that I give serious
thanks for on a daily basis.
I am always especially reminded of the
LOVING people in my life
on my birthday.
I specifically remember my first
birthday after I moved ON MY OWN to
Dallas after college. I hadn't made many
close friends yet and
I was ALONE on my birthday.
(When my parents left me after they helped move
me in my apartment, the last words said
were "You know the way to work, the grocery
me in my apartment, the last words said
were "You know the way to work, the grocery
store and the Galleria. You'll be fine." ha ha!)
I was so sad that I would be alone
on that birthday in Big D.
on that birthday in Big D.
I picked up my favorite
dish at the time from Johnny
Carino's and went home sulking.
Thank the Good Lord I had not gone
Thank the Good Lord I had not gone
anywhere. I would have never, ever been able
to return all of the birthday calls I received.
I have friends who come
out of the woodworks EVERY YEAR
out of the woodworks EVERY YEAR
on my birthday to show me some love.
God is good and one thing
I have never doubted is that I am LOVED...
I have never doubted is that I am LOVED...
by HIM, my family, and my friends.
OH, and now my BLOGGING FRIENDS!!!
I just don't know how it is that
I've been blessed with the most amazing,
loving family and friends in the world.
I have had my good times in life
and my bad times...
but one thing I can say
for certain is that through it all,
I've felt LOVED.
I am so glad we have birthdays...
it's the perfect, extra special day
to really show our LOVE!
My prayer is that I show the same amount
My prayer is that I show the same amount
of love to MY friends and family on
their birthdays (and everyday) as
I've been shown.
I am one blessed girl at 34!!!
Thanks for the BIRTHDAY Love!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
