another year

today is just another day-

but, in my world...

it is a little bit special,

i am a bit partial 

to jan 28th...

it is my birthday-

and although this means 

i am another year older...

 the lines on my face

and the little grey hairs

on my head

all seem to be multiplying 

rapidly...

it is my day.

a day 

that usually means 

it feels just a bit brighter

and lovelier...

oh yes,

maybe even a bit of spoilin'

a nice dinner

& hopefully some

chocolate cake! ;)

although first thing i will be doing

will be heading to church to attend

a funeral for a dear, sweet man

from our church

who

is no longer in pain...

i will be saying goodbye until we meet again

then in the evening...

i will be going out to a nice steak dinner-

i am so very grateful for another year 

and so

very thankful for all my 

blessings-

another year?

i hope this will be the year

to show more kindness,

to freely give of myself,

& 'walk my talk'

to never pass up an opportunity

to let my family and friends know

how much i love them...

may you be blessed with a sweet saturday

filled with all things lovely!
