I had another birthday this week. My birthday is the one day I truly sit back and revel in my good fortune. The one day I count my blessings....every single one of them. Unabashed and unashamed I let the good wishes and love my family and friends offer drench me from head to toe. It feels so good, I need it so much.
I have always felt rich in family and friends but it was ever so evident this week. I appreciated every card, note and gift I received. I cherished every gesture no matter how great or how small. They told me something. Told me that I am cared for, appreciated, loved.
These last months have been challenging for me. So many things have been out of balance and often I have felt out of sync. So it is these gestures that lift me and sustain me. They remind me that I do not walk this path of mine alone. It's not often that I flounder as I have been. It's unusual for me to show a proverbial hair out of place. So I am ever more appreciative for having those who take time for me, take time to make sure I know they care. Take time to celebrate a day that is special for me.
I never needed it more....

So glad to see you Blogging again.. I have missed it to be sure.. and I will say it once more.. Happy Birthday. You deserve all that you have received.. An so very much more.. :O)
Other than Happy Birthday, and "How often do you have these 'birthdays'?" There's not really much I can say.
What few family I have, and (not my fault honest) what few friends I have are at least good ones. Sometime you forget what you have.
Many Happy Returns.
