Yesterday I celebrated another birthday.  It was a nice day...a wonderful day, in fact.  I'm healthy, happy and have tons of friends and a loving family.  Sometimes we visualize a big celebration honoring the day of our birth or we might yearn for quiet moments of reflection with not a lot of fanfare.  This year was a more quiet celebration for me.  I started the day with my daughter in Cleveland and ended with my son in Pittsburgh....what could be better?

My husband is out of town, but called several times and I even had a cup of coffee with my mother-in-law.  My sweet girlfriends in Virginia called....one sang, the other knows better!  We're all aging together and laughing about what's changing and how we are thankful to be here.  Fortunately, all these dear ones will be celebrating with us on July 11th when our daughter becomes the new "Mrs."

I'm so grateful for all my friends that over the past months I have re-discovered through the communication tool of Facebook.  Thanks for all of you who wrote on my "wall" yesterday!  Life just keeps getting better.  Thank you, Jesus, for your love, mercy and willingness to lay down your life so that my life can extend throughout eternity.  And thank you for the gift of friendship!

Have a wonderful day, my friends and loved ones!
