Hello
Monday and what a nice Monday it is shaping up to be the rain has
cleared and the sun is out.
It
was 53 years ago that I came into the world weight only 4lb 2ozs and
being only 12 inches long, so tiny and frail that some thought I
would not survive. Wouldn't think so if you saw me now hardly tiny
and not frail although with all the problems with my arm and balance
I am not as good as I could be but I still wake up each day and set
out to enjoy life.
Have
received a number of text messages wishing me a happy birthday, and
called in to see my parents on the way home after I dropped Leo off
at school, the gave me some ornaments for my yard and new watch and a
nice pendant.
Tim
wished me happy birthday but hasn't got me anything as yet he said he
couldn't find anything on my list so he may just give me money to go
and get something.
I
had hoped the girls would had done something last weekend for my
birthday but didn't happen, maybe they will do something next
weekend, only time will tell.
Leo
was quick to wish me happy birthday this morning when I picked him up
to take him to school and Natasha also wished me happy birthday but
didn't give me anything as yet either.
Now
sometime during the next week or so I will have to dig out my
Christmas decorations and decorate the house for Christmas. I do love
Christmas just as I do love my birthday.
I
don't see my birthday as me getting old, it means I have been around
for another year to see my grandchildren grow, and my daughters grow
and spend time with my family who all in all are pretty great. Yes
they can be annoying at times but over all I am lucky to have a
pretty great family.
Life
is what we make of it, we can have setbacks, and knock downs and
disappointments in life but we can chose to take a breath, to dust
ourselves off and carry on. Tomorrow is a new day, and we have no
idea what that day will bring.
So
I am 53 and counting
I like that! 53 and counting!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and I hope you have a wonderful day!! :)

DeleteHappy Birthday Jo-Anne...do hope you are having a good one..
ReplyDeleteI did indeed have a pretty good day
DeleteA very Happy Birthday to you. Sounds like you had a good day.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Find out about your health soon- at our age (I'm 53 for another six months) we can't afford the wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks I had a pretty good day, I see the specialist in a fortnight
DeleteHey hey hey, dear Jo-Anne! Sorry I'm late to your birthday party. I want to wish you a happy one, dear friend. You are a survivor. You proved that from day one, didn't you? You are wise for counting your blessings every year at this time. At age 53 you are still young. I'll be 66 this Friday!
ReplyDeleteMy nan used to say that we are only as old as we allow ourselves to be, I don't think 53 is old in any fashion I hope to be around for many many more years to come
DeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteOnce more a happy (belated) birthday. You are still very young and yes, one never knows what every new day brings us!
Sending you hugs and blessings.
Mariette

ReplyDeleteHappy happy Birthday. I hope your family made it a nice time for you.
