Birthday blessings

 




Last night while grocery shopping I paused to look at the cake selection and my youngest asked "Why are we buying a cake?" "It's my birthday tomorrow" i answered and then I watched a jumble of looks cross her face. Surprise, because the girl loves all things birthday. Confusion, because wait mom's have birthdays? Excitement, because cake! And then she asked "How old will you be?" And I answered "tomorrow I will start my 53rd journey around the sun." She then leans close and whispers "that's a very big number." "I know" I whispered back "it's been a very big journey"
Tonight we ate cake, and counted to 53. (It takes 5 sets of hand plus three of my fingers to make 53, who knew my age could be a math lesson for a 1st grader.)Today was sprinkled with birthday wishes from my kids, my family and you..... what a grand start to this new journey around the sun! #birthdaysarefun #blessed
