I Get Older (but stay young at heart)

I am blessed by God with an abundance of great family members, friends, and co-workers. And today they figured that, since it is my birthday, they would celebrate with me.

My house-mate started the day by decorating the kitchen and my place at the table. She gave me a wonderful book on tape that I'm really looking forward to reading.

Then my family called and sang to me; promptly followed by a call from a dear friend who did the same.

My co-workers really outdid themselves this year. My office was decorated to the hilt with signs and streamers. Two of them brought in doughnuts to celebrate. They ALL sang the "Happy Birthday" song to me (even those that abhor public singing). They gave me a very sweet card with lots of nice notes in it. And they gave me a gift card for Coldwater Creek. Then they told stories about me and asked me the traditional "what are you going to do in the next year" question. It was lots of fun!

Thank you everyone who made this day so special! Thank you God for making me!!!
