My birthday

Best gifts!

I saw Gail on my morning run, she and her husband were

visiting.  I brought her up to the house for an impromptu

breakfast.  It was a meeting meant to be.

I gathered some mama friends to hang out at baby beach. 

 

Jackie and her boys were to be leaving Maui soon.

Kimberly came over for a bit to celebrate!

While I was gone on my run, Dev and Gigi decorated for my birthday...

good to have a sensitive and celebratory girl!

Out to dinner with family for the evening.

Thanks Kimmy for the silly glasses for our night.

 

Maybe an album cover???

Many good things...blessed

There was some hard in the day.  Of course, birthdays always

cause me to be reflective and highlight the relationships in my life.

I realize how self preservation can be such a relationship killer. 

I felt a bit burdened and left wanting by this season. 

My favorite moment of the day was my little family

of four laying hands on me at bedtime and praying for me.

One of my favorite things is walking holding each of

their hands.

Psalm 103

"Praise the Lord, O my soul;

and forget not all His benefits,

who forgives all your sins

and heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit;

and crowns you with love and compassion;

who satisfies your desires with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.
