A Genuine Thank You


So I turned 31 today and unlike last years “excitement” of flipping that 2 over to a 3, there really isn’t much hoopla about turning “30+1” J. Despite having to work today around coworkers who didn’t realize it was birthday, I ended up having a pretty good day!  The craziness at work that I have been experiencing lately decided to ease up for a day and allowed me to reflect on all the birthday wishes that I received. I read every single birthday message that was sent today and sincerely appreciate each and everyone’s efforts to wish me a good day. With each message received, a memory of all of the wonderful people I’ve met in my life and good times shared with them was brought back to me.  I have been receiving Facebook messages, emails, phone calls and text messages from the moment I got up this morning to just a few minutes ago. I also got to spend some time with Liz and her parents as they hosted us for a wonderful dinner and evening.    With all that, there was no way that I was going to have anything less than a wonderful day!


Thinking back, I can remember birthdays in the past being about all the huge parties, presents and cake!  I can tell you with certainty that everyone’s positive messages and efforts to reach out to me today were just as, if not more impactful. From the common faces to the blasts from the past, you all made a difference!    Thanks again to EVERYONE for your thoughtfulness and for providing a reason to be excited about turning one year older.  You’re all wonderful and I’m lucky to have you in my life!
