I was going to treat this day just like any other. I was
going to work, adjust my business plan, make phone calls, order swatches, etc. My
reason: "I have no time to slow down. I have to keep working!" I
started to think about the losses my family has endured this year
and the
additions we've had. I looked at the videos and pictures I took at my Mother's
surprise birthday party the other day. I looked at how happy our family and
friends were. The views were those of family and friends laughing with and
embracing each other in long hugs! The images were of conversation between
family and friends; listening attentively to each other. No one was in a rush. Everyone
was laughing and all smiles for about
5
1/2 hours. I can see it now: Two weeks from now I'll be working and wishing that I had taken time on my day to celebrate my day! No thanks. Life is given to be honored!
Today, I
have 39 reasons
to
acknowledge that today is not just any other day
to
commemorate that I was given a chance at life
to
celebrate that I know why I was a given a chance at life
to
honor the people that I get to live this life with
to
eat breakfast food all day
to
make sure I get my birthday gift from Sephora
to
make sure I use my birthday discount at DSW
to
get up at the crack of dawn to write this post
