IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY...

and my son and daughter-in-law are coming over this afternoon.  They are bringing Thai Food and my daughter-in-law is making me a birthday cake.  I am always happy when I know they are coming over.   I am not one for big parties but having my darlings here is going to make this day extra special.

I am now 71 years and as mentioned in my profile on the right of this page (which I changed around just a little), age has never really bothered me. At this stage of my life I want to be kind to everyone, life is too short to do otherwise.  I am not perfect, no one is, and neither is life but if you approach it with kindness and a good attitude, you're going to see that it's going to be worth it.  Wise, I read that somewhere and it has always stayed with me.  It's why I like quotes so much, they speak to me.

I found an old photo album when tidying up the storage room yesterday, and brought it upstairs.  We enjoyed looking at our younger selves, and talked about each photo.  It was a great walk down memory lane.

For those of you who have a birthday on the same day as mine, or this week even, Happy Birthday! Today is your day, hug those special people in your life, enjoy the things you love doing, smile at everyone you meet and if they don't smile back, realize they may be going through a few things (life can be a rollercoaster for sure).  Lastly, laugh out loud when you are told those corny jokes!  I aim to do all of that.

I will be away from my computer for a couple of days, but here are a few cards for you that I found online.
