Happy 47th Birthday to Me!

This has really been a wonderful birthday. I feel so loved.  I spent the day with the people who love me most in the world- my babies, my heartbeats. 

The flowers in the photo above only cost .99 at Kroger. I know everyone can't wait until the Valentine's Day candy goes on sale. Me too, but I especially love when the flowers are discounted. And so did plenty of other customers in the store today. Now, you may be able to see that a few of the flowers are wilted. However, the bouquet is sill beautiful. 

Look at the beautiful Snoopy mug my daughter, Alex, gave me. BEST. MOM. EVER. says it all.  I love it and can't wait to have tea or hot chocolate in it tomorrow morning.

My 17-year-old son, Jonah, designed this logo. My husband said, "It's cute. It's you. It's you when you're excited." I just love seeing my son's creations. He gets his visual art talent from his dad.  I plan to use the logo on this site, as well as one of my YouTube channels.

The day isn't over yet, but so far it has been everything I could ask for and more. Everyone has made me feel so special today. Between all the calls, messages, cards, gifts, and birthday wishes, I struggle to remember a better birthday.  Throughout today, I've found myself drifting off, thinking about the goodness of the Lord and the blessings in my life.  I'm surrounded by so much love. I'm excited about everything I'm working on and my future plans. The word for today and this next season of my life- GRATEFUL.

Blessings and love,
