My 43rd Birthday!

I love my birthday! So many people dread their big day, I however, look forward to it! I usually don't answer my phone today because it will ring off the hook with all the friends and family who love me. I love to listen to all my messages at the end of the night and just soak in all the love that I am blessed with. I never, ever, take that love for granted! Yesterday, my sis, Cindy dropped off my gift- the 7th season of "Friends"- we got her hooked on watching it and we were missing seasons 7,8 &9. I checked my email this morning and found the cutest, sweetest, made me a smile and feel all warm & fuzzy inside, e-card from my friend, Steve. (Steve is the one who is responsible for getting me started writing in my blog!) It always means so much to me that someone would remember me on my special day. Today, I'm spending my day with my favorite person in the world...my Shea! We both have been a bit under the weather but we are feeling better and we are going to see 2 movies today- "Because I Said So" and "Catch And Release" and maybe we can make it to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Casa Vega. I love to celebrate my life, in fact, that's all I seem to do every day and I am soooooo ok with that!

Life is a glorious privilege, and we can make anything we choose of it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.
Henry Van Dyke

Life is about happiness.

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
John Burroughs

You were born an original. Don't die a copy.
John Mason

These are two of my favorite quotes...Author Unknown on both...

While alive she really lived.

It was an honor to be part of your life.
