Happy Birthday and God bless you and yours Julie!! Birthday hugs abound 🙂
God gave us the gift of life;
it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

I suppose a birthday is a day for a true celebration…
A reason for celebrating to the utmost as we only are offered one every 364 days.
A day for getting all gussied up and being able to preen about for a day…
just like the belle of the ball.
Or so that’s how I hear some folks go about a birthday.
And because I was born on a Friday the 13th I was always told that Friday the 13th was a lucky day for those born on such an ominous day of misfortune…hummmmmmm….
I’ve never been much for drawing a bunch of attention to myself.
