Blessings - Week Four (Giving and Receiving)

So for week four I am thinking about the thing most at the front of my mind - my birthday. Not because I am overly in love with having birthdays - I tend to just have them - they come, they go - I am left one year older than I was. :-) 


This year I felt surrounded by friends and family over the week and am not only grateful for the gifts received, but just for the thoughts.... This year I was actually open to my birthday and did not look at it as ughhh let's just get this over with. 


So, I am blessed to be in a place to feel happy about celebrating my birthday and to have friends and family to celebrate with. I also could not help but smile to see Morgan practicing the gift of giving. She was so excited for my birthday and made sure to do special little things throughout the day. There is something special in that - seeing a child able to experience happiness in giving and making others happy.  


A BIG THANK YOU to everyone... I really did have a great birthday and am equally excited to end it with a get together this weekend of friends! I feel overly spoiled and truly blessed for this birthday that is lasting over a week.
