Uh oh. It's Friday the 13th. My 63rd birthday. I'm having a great day, kinda waiting for the 'other shoe' to drop. Hope it does't! 102 earthquakes here in the last 13 days. Most pretty small, but....does this mean something?

Thirty one years ago today, my youngest child was born. She was 5 pounds even, so scrawny she looked like a baby bird. Lots of brown curly hair. Now she is married, 2 loving children, going to school to become an RN. You never foresee what these tiny babies will do nor how they will fill, crush, and fill again your heart. Happy Birthday, my daughter. You are loved.

My dog is a poodle, not a pitbull. I'm afraid of pitbulls. My husband loves me. I love him back. Our three married children have blessed us with nine grandchildren. We live in a tiny, lovely home in a place with palm trees, sunshine, free golf and lots of good friends. We have a great little van we travel in. Most of our family are pretty healthy and ALMOST normal. Money coming in is close to money going out. Sometimes. Is life perfect? Pretty much. Does it have to be? Not at all. I don't know the reason God has blessed us with such bounty, I can't think of any reason we deserve it. On my knees, I thank you Lord, for all you have provided. It isn't luck. Maybe someday the other shoe will drop, meanwhile, I'm going to sit in the sun, have a glass of wine, lay my head back, smile and breathe deep.
