I have become older since I last posted....

My birthday was yesterday.. 

So, I am 48.. not a big deal.. I had a WONDERFUL birthday, got some new clothes, a special dinner out with all my children, my awesome sweetie, and beautiful granddaughter. Then at work my desk had been all decorated  up, and I got tons of sweet birthday wishes on my facebook as well.. it was a spectacular day..  The very best birthday I have had in years.. seriously.. since before my parents both died. 

But I am now (sigh) 48 years old...   I don't FEEL 48.. . 

It's really not a bad thing, growing older. I have learned a lot in my lifetime, put up with a lot, changed a lot about myself, (for the better I hope), Lost a lot, loved a lot, cared a lot.. sometimes maybe too much.

I have a wonderful husband, who I have loved since I was 15...   that's 33 years.. I wonder how many people at my age have had that kind of love in their lives, I wish everyone was loved as much as I am, and loves their significant other as much as I love mine.

So it's not bad growing older, (and wiser I hope). and I look forward to next year, and the year after, and many more to come. My kids growing up, going to college, moving out, (hopefully!) getting married, giving me more grandchildren to adore...   Life is just getting better...   

And a belated Happy Valentines to you all! 

I get so wrapped up in the "It's my birthday" part of the day, sometimes the "Valentines Day" part gets a little muddled.. 

Wonder what it would be like to be born on a different holiday, like say for instance  -

14 Clean out Your Computer Day - (second Monday of Month)

14 Ferris Wheel Day

14 National Organ Donor Day

They all fall on the same day as Valentines Day, (at least this year) and my birthday    - 

Hmm.. Ferris wheel day.. (I don't like heights!) 

Clean our your computer day.. (Well, it could stand to be cleaned out, I AM running low on disk space!) 

OR national Organ donor day..  I really should make sure I am registered as an organ donor.. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines day.. mine was awesome...  couldn't have asked for a better birthday, Valentines day, simply wonderful day ever...
