And it is!
There are 38 candles on my cake today -- how in the world did that happen? I am not one to stress out over getting older. I never have been. But it sure does feel like 40 is just looming in front of me now and although I am not worried about it....it really just feels impossible. How can I be 38???
Honestly -- I am thankful to be 38. Thankful that I have three beautiful, amazing children. Thankful for family and friends that are blessings in my life. Thankful that God has given me 38 years on this earth filled with a lot of happy times ~ as well as plenty of hardships, that I hope have only made me stronger and wiser.
I still have a multitude of things I want to do in my life -- and that's when I get a little stressed about my age. I have those moments of "Wait a minute! Another year has passed? I haven't done enough -- I need more time!" But it just reminds me that life is short -- life is a gift -- and I need to be working each day to do more -- to become better -- and to share kindness with as many people as I can.
THANK you to all of my wonderful friends who have sent me emails or e-cards with warm birthday wishes. You all are just amazing and I am so grateful to call you my friends.
I wish I could celebrate with each of you in person, but since I can't -- go have a drink or a treat of some sort for my birthday -- and enjoy the rest of your day!!!

Happy Birthday to you!
My Mum's birthday today too, so I'll double celebrate!!
And I quite agree about the "how did I get to this age", I'll be 40 in 5 months, and there is still so much I want to do, I still feel like I've just left school - so let's start doing it!
Happy Happy Birthday....hope it's special.
I hear exactly what you're saying. I think I need to get serious about accomplishing a few things LOL.
Happy Birthday to you....Hope you have a very special day.
((Hugs))

Happy birthday! Have a wonderful day and a fantastic year. Smiles and happy hugs.
I hope your birthday was wonderful...filled with everything you love!
Rita, I had no idea. I would have paid for your lunch the other day. Thanks for planning that. It was so fun to have mom time and catch up on the kids...I will treat you next time. We need to get together like that every so often.
Happy Happy Birthday my dear Rita...Ok I am a couple days late telling you that here...LOL.

I just hope you had a wonderful birthday, and wishes for many more. Of course if you want to be 40 now, I could send you a few years to reach it. LOL
Happy Birthday my Friend!
Sweetie there's so much more to come, age is just a number it's how you feel in your mind. Hope the day was full of wonderful things. Like your music!
So glad you had a great birthday!!
I know what you say about feeling like you need more time, but we have a ways to go!
And I don't think we look or act like we are over 35! :0)
