Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

quiet day

i have six kids.  two remembered my birthday.  weird day.  i'm completely content.  i am at ease.  but, i checked my facebook page and got 14 wishes...all time low. ha.  i spent the day with no candles nor being asked what the fam should cook for dinner.  got a couple of texts.  couple of phone calls.  got no cards in the mail today.  it was a strange day.  it was the kind of day that is a little surreal.
i realized that i planned my own day out and the only reason i did was because i wanted to celebrate a friend.  i'm not sad.  just  a bit reflective. came home.  poured a glass of wine. watching a show.  resting.  daughter out with a friend.  spending the night.  life is just this way.
strange.
my friends celebrated five days early.  probably i shouldn't do that anymore.  makes the day of a little bit sad. a little empty.
it was my 50th.  i spent it with a dear friend.  it was enough.
i have to realize sometime that the fact is that i'm not going to be celebrated exuberantly.  i have to realize that it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with me.
a quiet day. a nice day.  a big birthday.  fifty lovely years.
i am blessed.
blessings.
