Today is a special day for me.
One of my very favorite days.
On this day I get giddy and excited like a little kid.
I guess that is because I love having a birthday.
I love turning a year older.
I love looking back on past birthdays and reminiscing.
Ho-boy!
I am so thankful for the years God has blessed me with.
For the family I was born into.
For the joy of being called His child.
So I created a list.
Just a little one mind you.
Well, little in comparison to what I could have written.
Meh.

1. God has a plan
2. Smile at people

ReplyDeleteAgain, Happy birthday! I love you so dearly. :)
ReplyDeleteYour list is *lovely*. ;)
But I think #16 and #22 are slightly contradictory. haha. But I feel the same way. Is there a story behind #9? 25? hehe.
I love the idea of making such a list! It really is a good way to look back on things. This has been quite a year, hasn't it?
Your blog is always a treat to visit and I really loved your list... especially 1, 2 (how different people's days would be if everyone did this), 11, 12 (everyday!), 15 (I've never had it!!), 17, 22, 26 & 29. Hope your birthday was amaaaaazing! xo
