Today Is My Birthday!
Happy Birthday To Me, Happy Birthday To Me, Happy Birthday Dear Meeeeeee...Happy Birthday To Me...
Hi everyone! Well, today is he big '4-5'...yep, you heard me 45...
Sigh....
When I was a kid, I felt like an adult stuck in a kids body. When I was in my 20's, I felt 50...as if life were over. When I was in my 30's, I acted like an 18 year old. Now in my 40's, I feel like I'm perpetually 35.
Go figure....
My Love's boss made us a birthday dinner last night. She went out of her way to cook us the most delicious chicken curry! She makes it super spicy even though her own family doesn't like it spicy, it was sooooooo good! She doesn't live close by, so while my love was stuck working (he was suppose to meet up with her to pick up this dinner), she cooked it especially for us, drove all the way out to where we live to personally drop it off and wish me a happy birthday - now how many bosses out there does this? That was real nice....she's a sweetheart for caring about us the way she does.
This morning as I was getting my love ready for work, my hair hasn't been brushed - and for some odd reason, I did some funky stuff in my sleep to get my hair to look so ... how shall I say this? -- so, like I put my finger in a light socket! I put on his shoes which are a man's size 12 to my ladies size 7, I have on his shirt, his sweat pants AND his jacket! So, as I'm carrying out his stuff to take with him, I said off the cuff (as I was imagining how absolutely ridiculous I must look to the public and thank goodness it was 3:30 am and no one would be outside at this time), I said, "Boy, I must look like a real angel" and do you want to know what he said to that? "You ARE an angel".
How awesome was that?!
See, you don't need to receive gifts that are bought on your birthday, all it takes is a comment like that to move your heart greater then any gift could.
So, what will I do today?
I look at the disaster around here -- how two people can make a room look like a hurricane hit it within a matter of hours is beyond me, so I will clean up after us, do a wee bit of laundry (short on space here, so I can only do a few things at a time), I'll cook up some awesome pasta as my favorite food is spaghetti, and who knows...maybe God will spend my birthday with me as my honey bear is out there working his butt off for us.
If I can, I'll find time (to distract myself from the HUGE amount of stress we're under) to cruise the net today and share some great stuff with you. If I don't, then just know that I'm enjoying the day with love in my heart and faith in the day's blessings - big AND small.
