Happy 40th birthday, that is.
And to all you 39-year-olds who are in the shoes I wore yesterday and nearly every day since my birthday last year, the "I can hardly bear that I have to be 40 on my next birthday" shoes, well,
I'm happy to say that being 40 is absolutely lovely.
In fact, this may have been my best birthday ever. My day was filled with my family, my friends, delicious birthday treats, delightful presents, and the creation of happy, happy memories .
What blessings! What a joyful day!
And what a blessing to be 40, to be old enough to take last year's shoes off and fling them far behind me, to get to see that by turning 40 I have all the happiness I had before plus all of today's happiness too. A longer life with more happiness than before, that's what I have today. It's better. And because I just went through it I don't merely think so, I know so.
What a surprising and wonderful thing to learn! Now that I'm forty I really am old enough to know better.

So, Happy (late!!!) birthday!
Sorry for posting this on an unrelated posting (I couldn't find a "contact me" on your blog) -- it looks like you are still using the old coding for the Catholic Mothers Online blog roll. Email me at catholicmothers @ comcast.net for the new coding so that your picture will show up.
Thanks!
