Birthday!!

 

Aka – How the heck did I get this old?!?!

 

This was my birthday week. Dec. 11 was the actual date. I am SEVENTY-TWO years old! *gasp* I remember when my mom turned 70 and I was stunned at just HOW OLD SHE WAS.

We recently celebrated a dear friend’s 94^th birthday, so I console myself that maybe I’m not “that” old after all…then I look in the mirror…

 

I’ve decided I am not “old” – I am “vintage”.

 

BUT, this was a VERY good week. I am humbled by the love I have been showered with. I have the most wonderful friends, family and PEEPS that I could possibly ever have. People say that FB friends aren’t “real” friends, but I assure you they are!

 

So, THANK YOU to all those who I love and love me back. And especially thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When I look back at when I was 17 and trying to find a way to end my life, I am so grateful for the loving guidance and saving grace that ended that desire to die.

 

I don’t really care how I look in the mirror…it’s how I look to my Lord that matters. And I KNOW He loves me just the way I am. Amen.
