The day is Monday July 13th. In 4 days I will turn 25. Wow 25 years of
life. Let me thank the Lord for life. He gives me strength each day, to
wake up, go to work, spend time with my family, spend time alone, and
rest each night with faith in my heart that he will hold me in my
slumber and gently rouse me the next day. And for the past 11,315 days
(yes I have calculated even the leap years) I awake to go on another day.
What to do for the big day? The actual day of my birthday I will relax at home until my time to go to work. Yes I will work that day, the request for the day off could not fulfilled. But bitter I am not, the following week will be my birthday bliss. 10 days to do what I please. Instead of how may I please. Going to the beach may be on the agenda. Just need some summer heat. Hang with my bestie, catch up on girl talk. Special time with Mr. Green. I'm sure he has something up his sleeve. Fun times with my family. Lets all eat drink and be merry. Sleep and pampering for myself. Can't wait to take these braids out. Get a fresh do. Paint my fingers and toes, get all girly like.
Now its just me and the clock. Counting down the days. I better not blink, cause if I do it will all be over too soon. Count my blessings, and keep them in my focus. For the days when I don't feel 100%. I will keep in mind how blesses I am. Live on and be strong and wake each day and have hope for another 25, 50, 75, 100 years
