Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 23. . . again. . . or some configuration of those numbers. It was a beautiful day filled with greetings, kind words, and expressions of appreciation. I felt so loved by family and friends and especially my fellow blogger friends at Two Pretzels, Trophy Life, and Written Permission. Thank you ladies for your kind words. I appreciate the love and support I have been shown and especially the encouragement as I muddle my way through this blogging thing.
As I was feeling over-whelmed with appreciation for the many words of love, I found myself wishing that it didn’t take birthdays to bring forth such sentiments. I know that I am guilty of this. Waiting for this special day or that one to really let others know that I appreciate them. I really want to work at changing this. I want to work at letting others know in the present moment how thankful I am to have them in my life. . .
But I digress. . .
When I got home last night Mr. Charlie excitedly let me know that he had presents for me. He has been telling me for a week that he was going to give me presents on my birthday. Want to see what I got?
A firetruck, a 4-Wheeler, a tool belt and a baseball!
Oh, and a tiny fake chameleon from Chanelle!
Does it get any better than this?
How sweet of Charlie! He must have shopped all week long in that basement!!! 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I hope you also have a great day after your birthday. Love you lots, sister.
Oh, that is so sweet. Their prized possessions to their mommy.
Thems is some good kids, ya got there.
(Hope your day was happy!)
Sounds like a lovely birthday!! Happy birthday!!
