A Special Day

Today is my birthday. I am now 54 years old. Yippee!

I love my birthday. It is the one day out of the year when I allow myself to feel special without feeling guilty. Today I will be watching Sunny. This evening Katie is having all of us over for my birthday dinner. I am so looking forward to tonight. All of the kids except JD & Janel will be there. (They're at Disney World celebrating my birthday, isn't that nice of them! Wish I was there, ha ha)

This morning when I awoke, I stopped to analyze (as I do every year on my birthday) whether I feel older. I don't. I'm hovering at feeling about 35 years old. Getting older doesn't bother me yet. I hope it never does. I truly view each year as a gift and as an accomplishment.

In other news on this special day: today is the average last 100 degree day in Phoenix. Of course, average means nothing. It's supposed to be 110 - 112 this whole week. Oh well, at least the average high temp clicked down to 105 yesterday!
