Happy Birthday to me


Here is what 32 looks like for me:

A woman who is so grateful for her family, friends and the life I live each day.
A mother to a 4 year old daughter and a 3 year old son.
A woman who has been married for 12 ½ years, and is more at ease in marriage than ever before.
A woman who is generally not shocked by what people say or do.
A women pretty content with her life as is but knows that it could be better or worse on any given day.
A woman secure in the fact that she is loved by Jesus every day, despite her downfalls.
A woman who has learned more from being a mother than from anything else in life.
A woman who has been sheltered in life by many things, but has learned to accept and understand the differences of others.
A woman who struggles with body image, but has become secure in the fact that she can only do her best to maintain what is given to her.
A woman who hopes that what she is doing every day, will pay off with productive and God loving adult children someday.
A woman who dreams of making a difference in a persons’ life that will be significant.
A woman who lives for today, but is always setting goals for tomorrow.
A woman who knows her children are a gift from God, and are on borrowed time, like all of us.
A woman who grieves for her children, but knows she can’t fix everything.
A woman who knows that being the family taxi driver, chef, teacher, parent and maid gets old sometimes, but will be missed someday.
A woman who knows “having it all” does not always mean “having it all”.
A woman who tries not to hold grudges, but knows she has a long way to go.

Thank you all for making my day complete!
