celebration

I had a wonderful birthday this year!  Now, really, I can't remember a "bad" birthday...how could a day all about me ever be a bad one? :)  So wonderful that I was too tired to write this post on Monday night from all the fun we had throughout the day.  The weather changed my original plans for the day, but it turned out perfect in spite of that.
My day began with getting to sleep in until 8...that's pretty late and pretty rare for me these days.  Then I was treated to breakfast at IHOP by the family.  The rest of the day was spent leisurely shopping, preparing for vacation, and having fun together in the pool.  
My day ended with a bang....fireworks in the backyard.  This just may have to become a birthday tradition.     
God has blessed my life with great people...some family, some friends, and some both family and friends...who have wished me "Happy Birthday" this year.  Thank you!!!  My life wouldn't be the same without you in it.

My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

anchored

My word for 2018.  Anchored. To keep from drifting. Representative of stability and strength. Connected. Held.  Grounded.  Positioned.  Fixed. Movable. Small, yet, essential part of a bigger entity. It is a standard by which to live; a goal for which to strive. Anchored.
