My Birthday

Not that long ago in a galaxy right here,
during a great winter snowstorm a
girl was born....



She grew up believing she could do
anything she put her mind to.
Because her mom taught her that; also, The Force is strong with her..





When she reached adulthood,
she began to see how the world
could chip away at your beliefs
and dreams. She made a vow
to always stay true to herself
no matter what.





In sunny weather and rainstorms,
she stayed true. The cost as times
were high. In the end, it was worth it.




So today, I celebrate my birthday. I celebrate
the little girl I was and the woman I am now.
I am grateful for the adventures I've had.
I welcome all the adventures to come.

Of course, The Force is still strong with me...

I'm taking time away to celebrate my birthday,
I'll be back by Thursday.

Happy Belated Birthday, Sweet lady. Hope it was all your heart desired. Age?

Chip away....Isn't this the truth? I wish there could be a class taught in elementary emphasizing the importance of discipline - it would make a world of a difference.
