What interest me most? My birthday is a day I celebrate grudgingly; nevertheless, it's an important day in U.S. history. Important things (and not so important things) happened, which shaped the very fiber of that country and I can say now (after a little research) I am proud to have been born on this day; furthermore, I feel bless to be alive in this hour.
It's odd!!! I'd been so fixated in my journey to find validation in my 20's, I'd missed out on a lot. I'm a little down today (just a little), but I'm o.k. It's seems I'd been 19 years old for all those years and one day last year I woke up in time to be knocking on 30. How depressing? The majority of my adulthood was developing the office of a "partier." (How much could I drink without passing out? Dancing until I was breathless? How much sex I could have without contracting something? etc) That I'd missed out on my 20's!!!!

HOWEVER, as you already know, GOD IS GOOD. He's so awesome and such a power force in my life I could simultaneously explode with laughter, tears, screaming, and running. I wanted to sit and complain about my aging process but I could enjoy my day. This is a day, which begins a year of goodbyes to being stupid and hellos to being blessed and productive. Guess what??? I made to my 29th birthday, without liver cancer, AIDS, or a hatred for my own life and I'm so blessed! Why? Because, I'm finally in love with me and there is no greater feeling in the world, except knowing that God loves me!
Happy Birthday to ME!!!
Until Next Time
