31

well today I am feeling grateful for my wonderful life. I am grateful to be a wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt and friend. A few days ago, my son Isaac said,
"Did you know you are at the perfect age?"
Me: "Oh really?"
Isaac: "Yes, I learned in church that 30 is the perfect age, because when we go to Heaven, we will all be 30."
Me: "Well! That sounds perfect... Thanks Isaac."

Well today I am 31 and am humbled by all the many blessings in my life. I have so much to be grateful for and am going to try to focus on all the simple beauties that surround and enrich my existence every day. Like this tiny little hand that is holding my finger as I type. :) Now she is singing a song about our fingers... ahh... life is good.
I got to spend my/our birthday weekend up at my sister Lisa's house. This is the first time Lisa and I have been together on our birthdays in many years (her birthday is the day before mine, if you didn't know). It was really fun! She is a wonderful sister and I'm glad to have her in my life and be so close to her. We have many memories of having birthdays together, so Im posting a couple pictures of when we were small (thanks Dad for hunting them down for me!)... Enjoy!

I don't know you, I don't even speak English but I read your post and I found it so happy and full of beautiful thoughts that I wanted to leave a message!
Rarely a blog is used to say how happy we are (at least in Italy we often complain a lot on our personal blog). It is so new to read a comment on how happy life can be that it left me very cheerful indeed. So... Well, I'm happy for you that can dimostrate that life can be good and this world can be an happy place.
Good bye! :)
