Birthday Blog

Today I turn 44 years old. In some ways, I feel like I am 24. I feel like Rip Van Winkle waking up and wondering where the last 20 years went!

Your perspective sure changes. You realize how fast the years and time goes by. I love the quote that says; "Life is not measured by the number of breathes that we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away."

Life is a Blessing and everyday is a gift from God. Sure there are challenges that we all face, but you can't reach the top of the mountain without climbing it first. There are falls and pitfalls along the way but the final destination is what counts.

Birthdays are a time to celebrate where we have come from and where we are going.Some look at birthdays like mileage on a car, but really it is about growth. What we have learned in the past year and what we will learn in the year to come.

So where will I be and what will I be doing a year from now ? I only know that today is the first day of the rest of my life and today is my birthday!
