Birthday Blessings

I have received several birthday blessings from friends and family today... funny and pretty cards and sweet emails... some cute personal items from friends, including a tube of yummy blueberry lipgloss... and a beautiful card from my parents that made me cry! It spoke of how proud they are of me, which just means so much to a girl who's greatest childhood fear was disappointing her parents - that was the worst punishment, even more than spankings or being grounded, when I was a child. I certainly haven't made all the right choices along the way, but I guess I turned out okay =)
