Happy Birthday Momma

 

This lady right here, has been one of my biggest fans since the day I was born. I do not always make her happy with how I do things or the choices I have made in my life, but she has supported me and loved me through everything. 

Just hearing her voice can make my heart happy when it is sad. Just seeing her face can make me smile even when I don't feel like smiling. She has always wanted the best for me and I hope that she knows how much I really love and appreciate her. She is the best mom a girl could ever hope to have. 

God knew I needed this woman in my life and I have been thankful for her every second of my life... I might not have shown her that appreciation a time or two hundred times in the past, but I hope she knows how much her love and support has meant over the years. 

And you know what... I am more like her each and every day. I thought a while back that I never wanted to turn into my mother... but as I get older... I don't mind it so much. She is a wonderful person and has been my shining light throughout life. 

I hope today, on your birthday mom, that you know just how much you mean to me. These past months/year... has been the hardest ever... We had to postpone your trip here in 2020 and now we FINALLY have a date this November and sometimes I just cry thinking about being able to hug you for the first since since December of 2019. I love you so much momma and I can't wait for our time together and the laughter we will share. I hope you have a wonderful blessed birthday... 

Another year gone...

 

Another year gone... I turned 41 today. Nothing too exciting happened other than turning a year older and I had a lot of love from people telling me Happy Birthday through text, calling, Facebook messaging. It was awesome to see so much love!

Another year turning a year older in quarantine. My big 40 was in quarantine and so was this year. No get together with all my friends. Just myself and my family and a few friends here and there. Definitely not what I was expecting/hoping for, but hey life throws obstacles in your path and you just have to make the best of it. 

This year, I was suppose to have a craft day with my bestest friend... Well... it just so happens that she was exposed to COVID 12 days before my birthday. We thought she was good... she had 1 negative test and then 3 days later she took a 2nd one just in case and it was positive. I was super sad, but all I wanted was for her to get better. I did, however, spend the day with my husband and daughter. Hubby didn't have a job and kiddo was doing school. Husband ran some errands in the morning and brought us breakfast on his way back home... We ate a later breakfast, so we did not grab lunch.... the 3 of us went to get our hair cuts. For the kid and I, it was our first hair cut since before the pandemic started. It was so nice to get newly cut hair. We ran some errands and then ended my birthday enjoying some delicious Thai food. One of my favorites! It was a perfect day with some awesome humans. 

The bad news is time flies... The good news is you're the pilot. - Michael Alshuler. I am not sure who he is, but I absolutely LOVE this quote. I get to make my choices in life and I get to make sure I have good or bad days. Yes, sometimes bad things happen and you have not so good days, but you get to choose how you react to those things. I choose happiness. I choose to love. I choose to forgive. I choose to pray. I choose to rejoice. I choose to LIVE!

Make sure that no matter what you choose today, you choose what your heart deserves! Life is way too short to not enjoy every single moment!
