The Day Before Turning Seventy-eight

WOW! Today is Tuesday, November 12, the day before my seventy-eighth (78) birthday.

I am excited, nervous, anxious, and totally ready to embrace this next year as I also wonder what challenges, excitement, and wonderment it will bring.

A retro-view of last year seems appropriate because there were some giant steps in my life. I grew up a little, was able to let go a little, and survived it all with the help of my creator, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

I hope and pray that I am wiser, more forgiving, and clearer in my path forward. May I never take anything or anyone for granted, but I treat each as a special gift that touched my life, more often for the betterment of me than for my destruction.

I am thankful and grateful for this full year of gratitude and for living each day with grace, hope, peace, and mercy. I am praying today that God will allow my life to continue and that my life will be in harmony with His will.

Thank you to everyone who entered my life, supported me, and helped me stay on the straight and narrow path. No one is an island, and nothing can be done without the help of someone else in some way, form, or fashion. I am a combination of all of you and my life experiences.

I KNOW SEVENTY-EIGHT will look good on me even as I learn to wear compression SOCKS! LOL

FUN FACT: November 13, 1946 was on a Wednesday! My 78th birthday is falling on a Wednesday!
