Mr. Wonderful whispered "Happy Birthday" in my ear while I was still dreaming
as he headed to work on Monday morning...
I stretched, breathing air deep into my lungs... It was great to be alive!
Although some dread birthdays, I had a change of heart after defeating breast cancer nearly 10 years ago... When another birthday rolls around, it is a gift~ and every age spot, wrinkle and achy joint is a sweet reminder that I'm still here!
Although I've said "YES!" to all kinds of things this year...
lots of fun times and spontaneous silliness...
It was the precious "little things" that I counted on my special day.
My life, when partnered with God's abundant grace, is rich, indeed.
So I've been giving thanks all week...
For the truth of His word in surprise places.
The privilege of sending my kids to college;
...who made a surprise trip to Dallas just to say they were glad I was born.

And bubbly toasts to another year!
And Yellow Mums
My life, when partnered with God's abundant grace, is rich, indeed.
So I've been giving thanks all week...
For the truth of His word in surprise places.
and prayers said by friends for safe travel...
for sipping fancy coffee with the Aggie Sisterhood....
{One of them even in the midst of her own cancer battle}
For little touches of hospitality~
For the lavish love of my sweet parents and sister and friends...
for the gifts and cards and calls and Facebook blessings~
50 = FABULOUS!
