Here's to MORE birthdays

 I think this song fits me pretty well. Some people would say I have been to (excuse the term) heck and back...and some days that is what I feel like...but I am a RISER! I am a get out-aliver...I am a SURVIVOR.  All the "stuff" I have had to endure this past decade or so...has made me a STRONGER person and who I am today. Because of all the "stuff" I feel I can conquer a LOT...most people would have given up by now. They would have thrown in the towel...but I keep getting the punches coming my way...and get right back up and come back at life 10x greater. 



Today marks a special day...at 10:43 am AZ time...I will officially be 36 years old.  Birthdays to me just are not about marking another day off the calendar, or opening gifts, or eating desert...it means so much more.  It is a mile stone that I made it on this earth another year. That I have conquered another 365 days...that I have made at least 365 more memories with my girls...that I have lived to continue to tell my story. 



My life is constantly changing...each day is a new day. Yesterday is just that...it was the past...today is a beautiful day...and pray that tomorrow will be just as beautiful...BUT it all depends on how we look at life.  We can sit around and play the pity-party negative game...or we can dust off our boots and conquer each day with a smile on your face and a song (hopefully happy) in your heart. 



So here's to many more birthdays!



Until next time...I am thankful God has given me the strength to deal with all I have been dealt with...and continue to live life each and every day to the fullest.  (even if I now have to check my blood sugars and give myself insulin injections-ha!)



ps...oh yes...I am now a TYPE 1 Diabetic...but I am not going to post about that to ruin my bday-mojo. :)
