On this wonderful day, 39 years ago…..this woman and man
brought a baby girl into the world that would grow up to be me.
Thanks to my Mom and Dad (even though they both called me at about 5am and 5:30am this morning. LOL
This year was a good one. Why? Cause I’m still here. I didn’t get the promotion I wanted but I did run my first 5K. I did not hit the lottery but I am rich with love and a heap of friends and family. In short, Life is good and I can’t complain.
Next year, I will continue to work on being more patient, do less procrastinating and make every effort to seize the moment and live out my dreams. Life is too short not to enjoy it and create moments that will live on.
Hope everyone is enjoying the day. Despite the fact that I am stuck at work with two meetings…..I plan on having a great one.
And yo…..the kid is 39….I can’t believe it!

You’re still looking like you just turned 25. Your mom and dad are a very handsome couple. I see where the good looks come from.
Continue to be the Diva you are and I hope one day I’ll grow to have half your class and beauty.
