Another Year........
Yesterday was my birthday
Yesterday I turned 30.
Yesterday.....I once again saw the blessings in my life.
For MONTHS....for some reason I was so bummed about turning 30. I mean, think about it. You are no longer in your 20s......scary thought. I have people who knows me but doesn't know my age who thinks I am in my mid 20s.....one coworker thought I was only 25----bless her heart! Ha-ha! She said I could pass for a mid-twenty year old. Hmmm.... maybe my Oil of Olay is work (j/k... I really don't use it...I'm actually allergic to it).
Anyhow, I was showered w/ bunches of birthday wishes from friends and from my clients. I think my clients were more excited about my birthday then I was. Not that there was cake or ice cream or what not....my clients just kept coming to me w/ hugs and yelling "happy bday!!!". I will get cards made out of ripped pieces of paper that will read "hapy bithday, beky" (remember, guys, my clients have developemental disabilities, so they do the best they can). Those are the BEST cards I've gotten. How sweet. They find crumppled up paper in piles of stuff and use it....how thrify!
After work (and yes, I worked on my bday since I'll be gone all next week to HI!!!), a group of my close coworkers and I went out for dinner at a place near work.. The place is called Tip Top. It was a cool neat little place. The five of us had a blast! We were able to just enjoy each other's company outside the work place.....we were able to laugh about the day or laugh about our week or laugh about our past experiences. It was great. I have NEVER EVER had such great and close coworkers. Coworkers who really want to get to know me as a person and not just a worker...coworkers who really care. I'll tell you, when I had my surgeries, I had more phone calls from coworkers than I can imagine....just knowing that they truely do care. They have great morals and great personality. I'm blessed.
Blessed with the abundance of birthday wishes posted on my FB. Blessed by the abundance of calls. Most of them were jokes about my turning 30 and kidding me that I was old...which actually made me laugh. I'm not really bummed. I am just SO THANKFUL that God has granted me yet another year of my life full of blessings. Yes, I have been through a lot this year, but all that is so tiny compared to the blessings God has given me this year.
I will leave for Hawaii on Saturday 9/5. I will post pics asap.
