So today is the big 4-0 birthday. It is really funny when I talk to my friends and family about the changing of the numbers I really do not have feelings one way or the other on getting older but everyone else does. For me, I am starting to realize that as I get older, that I am learning more about who I am and what I want out of life.

What I know for sure about me and my life are: {in not particular order}

1. Laugh till you cry is the best!
2. Kind people, with kind faces make me smile
3. Helping others fills my heart
4. Seeing people being kind to others is heart warming
5. Snuggling with my daughter on a Friday night watching movies
6. Being with my husband doing nothing
7. Doing what is best for me and not worrying about pleasing others
8. My dog cuddled up so close to me, that there is no room for me to move
9. Sweating on the treadmill {my health}
10. Becoming an aunt warms my heart
11. Seeing my daughter beam with pride when getting her 1st place ribbon in Synchro
12. Surrounding myself with thoughtful, caring and loving friends that have my best interests at heart
13. My daughter singing as she walks around the house
14. Knowing I just took a really great photo
15. A beautiful sunrise or sunset

There has been so many deaths and illness in the past year with family and friends, that I cannot in anyway, be anything but blessed for the wonderful life I have been given. Getting older is a fact of life, so I will embrace it with wide open arms and an open heart.

Thanks to everyone that have sent me well wishes for a great birthday!

And just because a post is always better with a photo … here is one of my favourite sunset photos that I took by Victoria, PEI
