Do I feel old???? The simple answer...No.
My daughter asked me if 39 feels different than 38. When I told her No, she asked are you sure??? Phil has been cracking jokes all day about me being his old lady. Since he is 4 years younger he thinks he's pretty funny. Then I was reminded that next year I officially become a cougar because of Phil's age. Today was a lot of good, silly laughs.
My blackberry (early birthday present) started chirping at 5:15 this morning. Thanks Justine even that early it made me smile. Of course best friends always want to be the first to send birthday wishes. My phone never stopped it was alot of nice interruptions. As I am typing it is still chirping.
Maddie sang Happy Birthday to me about six times with pretend cakes she build out of blocks. Katie and Jack thoroughly enjoyed the double chocolate ice cream cake Phil brought home. It was Yummy!!!
39 years......It makes me wonder if I am really living life the way I was meant to. Like any person, my life is filled with mistakes and scars. But those memories do not control my life. When I finally made that decision I have been happier than I ever thought possible. Let me assure you it is not because my life is easy or because I won the lottery. It is because my life is surrounded by family and friends that have been there for ever smile, burst of laughter, tears of joy and those of pure fear.
I am grateful for the friendships from those dating all the way back to kindergarten, that began the first day of high school, developed from former jobs or that came from life changing experiences. I am not the same person because of it and I like the person I am becoming.
Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful, sweet and even some silly birthday wishes. It truly helped make my birthday complete.
TTFN~
