Is Today Your Birthday?
When
I was little, my Daddy had a whole bunch of records (remember those?)
that he would play for me. One of them had this little song to teach
you the days of the week. The young child would sing, "Is today my
birthday?" and the parent would say, "Not yet, today is Monday, Monday,
Monday!" Well, it has become a tradition in our home to sing that
little song to the birthday person starting a week prior to the date.
We all get a twisted sense of joy yelling "Not yet!"
Well, today I said, "It is, it is, it is my birthday!" Because it is my 32nd birthday today!!!
I thought a lot about how to celebrate. I think birthdays are very special, cause its the one
day in the whole year that you should feel especially special. So I
wanted to do something that would make me feel just that. A trip to my
favorite museum and having a pic nic at a very nice park would make my
day.
The museum didn't work out (I still had four children to tend to), but
we did make it to the park. I asked a good friend to visit with her
children and they were the perfect compliment to my day. On the way
home we drove through downtown listening to my favorite smooth jazz
station. I tell ya, its the little things that make me happy.
Last night I cooked a large pan of Baked Ziti
and my favorite Cranberry apple toss salad. I made enough so that
I wouldn't feel like I cooked on my birthday. After dinner the family
went out for ice cream.
I have soooo much to be thankful for. I had a great childhood for the
most part, my parents are still alive and well, my dh and I are still
happily married and I have four gifts that I get to open up every
morning.
Above all that, I have a relationship with the One who made heaven and earth, He wants to talk to me and hear from me. I am richly blessed !!!
