Amongst many things, Noah's birthday party tonight, eye doctor appt times six this morning, arriving at the DMV only to find out I am now required to present my birth certificate to renew my driver's license, I am turning another year older today, Friday the 13th of August. lol While many people shy away from celebrating and rejoicing in another year here, I count it a blessing to celebrate another year. I was not alwys so upbeat about birthdays, but in 2001 I lost my dear uncle to staph infection after a successful stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma, Uncle Roger only got 46 burthdays. Ever since then, I count it a blessing to be blessed with yet another birthday. Thank you Lord for letting me celebrate another year with my family, to love on my kids, husband and anyone who comes my way. While life is nothing short of chaotic 99% of the time, I am blessed beyond measure and praise God daily for holding my hand through this journey here on earth. I praise him for carrying me when I feel I can not go another step, HE is there picking me up, dusting me off and loving on me like no other. Thank you Lord for blessing me more than I deserve. Most of all thank you for loving me even though I am far from perfect and fail You daily. I am truly blessed beyond any measure my pea brain could fathom!!!!
