Happy Birthday

Having a birthday near, or sometimes even on, Thanksgiving is fun. I almost never had to go to school on my birthday as a child, and I almost always get to have a party with whoever I spend Thanksgiving with now that I am older.

I have a habit of trying to have some kind of plan to make the day special all on my own. It is one of those just in case things from the days when I had to bake my own birthday cake and help the kids make presents for me.

But I don't need those plans anymore. My sister and Bestest go out of their way to make sure it is a special day for me and I heard from so many dear friends in so many different ways that I feel very much loved and appreciated.

The universe seems to be smiling on me and I am so grateful.
