I am so excited for this time of year. I love the season for many reasons. First and foremost is the birth of Jesus. No matter how much I decorate or how much fun I have over the holiday, I never ever forget the reason for the season.
But I also love the fact that this is my birthday month. It's not a big one for most people. But it is to me. I will be 62. That doesn't mean I am going to retire or anything, it just means that if I ever decide to the option is sitting there waiting for me. I don't act 62 and most days I don't feel 62, but it still feels like a milestone and I am excited. It won't be for a couple of weeks, but I am going to enjoy my birthday month. I tease my pals at work all the time and tell them I am the Queen. It's a running joke. But apparently it is true, because I saw this on the internet today. You know what they say "If it's on the internet, it must be true. Just kidding but it is fun to treat yourself like you are a queen.
I am going to celebrate the whole month by doing one thing every day that brings me joy. I already have a plan for today to surprise a sweet girl I work with. She doesn't have a clue what surprise I have in store for her, but she will love it and I will love seeing her face.
It's going to be a very long, exhausting day but I am going to embrace it and find little moments of joy in it where I can.
