Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I added another year to my age. I didn't find it to be traumatic - in fact it was pretty relaxing. We are in Tennessee visiting Brian and Amy and their four kids.
I started the day with a birthday breakfast with the kids and then went on to play about 10 games of "Battle" with Nathaniel, the youngest of the four. There is no stress in playing "Battle". There was nothing else I had to do except hang out with my kids and grandkids and enjoy the day. I even loved wearing the birthday hat.
I heard from all my kids today and other family and friends and that makes me feel blessed.
Except for some extra aches, I love being my age. A lot of things that used to matter a lot just simply aren't that important anymore. I can speak my mind with a bit more ease and it doesn't bother me as much that I need to lose a few pounds.
I love learning and I don't feel like I have to prove anything to anybody.
I have an amazing husband and I just want us to grow old together.
Life is good and God has blessed me.
