Sounds like you had a great birthday. I'm so glad. There's nothing like having family around any day of the week. See? I told you 60 is a slam dunk. LOL.

Like you, I choose to focus on my blessings and that makes me a very happy person. I have all my family close by, so I'm glad of that.

Now, on to being 61, right! 8-)

Teri,

You sure got a lot of nice gifts for your birthday, both tangible gifts and fits of
love and honor. I enjoyed reading this and hearing about your special day. You
did a great job of sharing your day with us. I have that book by Joyce Myers. It is
one of the few books I took from all the ones I used to own.

You just have one extra plural on 'books' here:

" It was a *books on tape,"

I wish you a happy birthday too...even if a bit late,
Linda

How unusual. I'm sitting here listening to rain rattling onmy roof
and I've just reviewed an ode to rain by a writer I don't know well.
And here you complete your essay with a paragraph in praise of
rain. I'm going to have to take more notice. Your story is so wholly
positive. Clearly you had a great 60th, and yes, it's not that scary.
Your family must truly appreciate you given the thought put into
presents. You adore young Greyson, and I'm sure he'll be devoted
to you with such a bond formed so young. Your faith is clearly a cornerstone of your existence so I'm not surprised your life is so
fulfilling. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with readers
on FS. Very enjoyable.

Happy birthday to you on your 60th, Teri. I enjoyed reading about your special day. These are standout lines for me that encapsulate what life is all about:
"I have learned to take life one day at a time and be thankful for all the Good Lord has given me and done for me. It has made a big difference in my life and the way I view things."
