Ok, I just left my 20's behind. Yes, it was my birthday and I turned the next chapter. Thanks to those who sent me birthday wishes. The icecream cake that we bought was absolutly fabulous! Really weird to see the 30 on the cake! How odd that we don't feel older but yet the years tick by so fast. I'm happy and wanted to post this little poem someone sent.





Taking time to smell the flowers,

Counting the joys instead of hours,

Delighting in the simplest things,

Letting all your thoughts have wings,

Feeling peaceful deep inside,

Facing everything in stride,

Balancing both work and play,

Learning all along the way,

Moving toward a dream or goal,

Nurturing your heart and soul,

Showing others that you care,

Finding beauty everywhere,

Understanding true success,

Choosing love and happiness

Sharing with a special friend,

Enjoying all that life can send!
