I couldn't care less if I get a gift or not. I just want to have fun. Who was that brilliant singer who sang, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"... just kidding! Well, I am a huge birthday fan... not how old I am (oh my!)... but, that it's to be a time of JOY! I believe that God has a purpose for every person. And, I believe that God doesn't do anything less than SPECTACULAR. So... I must in some way be SPECTACULAR if I am seeking to serve Him in this life here!
Here's a bullet point description of my spectacular day...
- Began with midnight calls from my two kids - both wanting to be the first to say Happy Birthday to me :)
- Breakfast in bed (coffee & cinnamon crunch bagel) - served by the LOML - and opening cards that came in the mail over the past few days
- Walk on country roads with friend & neighbor, Ruthanne, & her dog... spotting a baby raccoon high in a tree peering down at us
- Cleaning, mopping & moving things around in the laundry room - to accommodate the repairman who FIXED MY BROKEN DRYER - hooray!
 |
| Even the dryer repairman wished me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! |
- Sitting outside in the hot sun & cool air to read my book for book club tonight
- Getting tons of sweet notes via Facebook & Twitter and some phone calls too!
- Book club... treats & MORE
- Dinner cooked for me at home & some more surprises from the LOML & my daughter. Boots from the LOML... and my 2 favorite flavors of ice cream from the daughter when she came over to surprise me :)
