Birthdays come in all shapes and sizes. This one looked a lot like me sitting on the back row of a plane for most of the day. But when I came home, I saw smiling children, smelled homemade biscuits and gravy, and heard Louis Armstrong crooning. It was a wonderful little dinner and time of reflection, followed by Some incredibly thoughtful cards, voicemails, and gifts.
I'm thankful to have this day, and I'm relieved to be at that point in my life where I Really look forward instead of backward. I specifically want to grow in love and patience this year.
