Getting older

Woke up happy.  It's my birthday!!  wooohooooo

Tons of special memories come flooding back in to view.
** the kids making me a cake and singing
**  joey giving me flowers and a cute gift to open up
** my sis taking me out to lunch
** my mom making me a spice cake with candles
** my family hugging me and telling me i don't look any older
**and yes, getting that stupid "old fart" card from Steve

Well this year only one of those things happened (the last one)  so I had to throw my own party.
Here it is in a nutshell:
*** Look for lots of stuff to be thankful for , like I still have my eyesight and sense of smell and 2 ears that can hear Joes' Durango  from a mile away.
*** Look at pictures of my  2 beautiful grandkids who have stolen my heart and  have taken it to Netherlands
(is it OK to say Holland?)
***  Appreciate the most stable, generous, and loving husband in the world who comes home every night from work and yells "glo, where are you?"
***  Pray for my 2 kids that are the age I used to be when I enjoyed birthdays.
***Getting  to hold babies when I go to church,  (the baby sunday school or nursery)
*** teaching  kids math and making them laugh because their mistakes are so silly.
***  Enjoying my 8 book club ladies who can't wait to get together once a month, just to talk and smile.

Actually, today was so laid back.  I just enjoyed coming home and listening to the rain.  God didn't even have to give me a rainbow.  I felt his presence all day  and His presents all day.
