Happy Birthday To Me!


Every year I write a list of things that I learned over the last 12 months. This year, I only have one...

"Be yourself, no matter what, and love everybody for who they are."

With each year it becomes more clear to me how individual God made each of us. We are special and unique in so many complicated ways. I am learning how my faults make me who I am. I also realize that it is usually through the flaws of others that makes me love them so much more!

My words are short and quick these days. No time for metaphors and flowery sentences. But, what I am trying to say is, take me or leave me. And, i'll take you no matter what!

It has been a fantastic year, but I am ready for 2011, and to be 38 (Because I just LOVE even numbers). Bring it on!!!
