Birthday Blessings

Wow! You should see the top of my entertainment center! It is filled with cards of all flavors wishing me a blessed birthday. I am amazed at how many people sent me a card. It makes me all warm and glowey.

Not to mention the many electronic cards and texts I received, and the gifts from kids, friends and the church mice! I did not expect such an outpouring of love. It is a relief to reach another birthday. I wear birthdays with pride. They indicate that I beat the odds and am still kicking - how great is that!

Even Drew got into the act and baked cranberry orange muffins. After I got home from working the late shift at the library, I plopped down in a chair, tired. Suddenly the lights went out. "Hey - turn the lights back on," I started to say when he came waltzing in with a ton of candles crammed into a muffin. Kiel and Andrea joined in the song.

I couldn't help grinning from ear to ear. I had no idea they had been conniving and conspiring to pull off a little celebration. Sweet. I munch my muffin and enjoy my cards and thank my lucky stars. Altogether a great day.
