To Brighten My Day

So, I really haven't been looking forward to January 22 this year. I don't know why this is such an issue to me...but it has been! Although I feel badly that Kevin has to be out plowing all through the night and all day today, I was almost relieved to just have today go on as normal.

However, normal it is not. I have been reminded repeatedly of how I am "surrounded by love!"

1) This morning I woke to birthday phone calls and shouts of "thanks" for once again delivering on my birthday blizzard promise.
2) Fun email greetings from many friends and family members
3) A virtual floral arrangement (did you know you could do such a thing)
4) Hugs and kisses from 2 babes who have NO clue how old 30! is and don't even know how to count that high
5) A pile of mail (and not one bill included)
6) Left over goodies from a family celebration on Sunday
7)And just in the last 5 minutes a beautiful arrangement of my favorite flowers from a very special sister-in-law and her family (Delivered to my door by a smiling gentleman even though he had to wade through 11 inches of snow in our driveway).


Thank you all for celebrating for me! (I am almost ready to celebrate too - smiles!)
