Happy Birthday to Me

Today I start a new year.  This will be my 73rd.  I look forward to each because it’s another opportunity to learn or do something new.  

I have been blessed with an abundance of wonderful friends & love of family.  I love what I do & I have a curiosity about so many things.  I dabble in painting, baking, gardening & so much more.   I may only be good at some things, but the fun is in the trying. 

I love housework.  I like to organize, & move things around in the house.  I love colors, particularly red, but all bright colors appeal to me.  If I have a paintbrush & a jar of color, I will paint something in the house.

I have always loved cats🐈‍⬛🐾.  We had barn cats on the farm, but I had my cat when I was 10.  My house still has cats.  Something is calming about the snuggles of a sleeping cat.

I love my work.  The last time I called in sick was 29 September 2010, after my first round of chemotherapy.  After that, I knew what to expect & I didn’t call in sick again.

If you’re blessed with a wonderful family, great friends & a profession you enjoy, what more do you need?

So today is just another abundantly, extremely blessed day.

Happy birthday to me!
