*26*

On this birthday morning,

 i 

woke early up to the sun & blue skies,

always fun to have a beautiful day for your birthday!!!

Today is my other favorite day of August...

Why? 

yes, it is my birthday...but I love the journey each year & it's special to me.

Truly...

It's so much more than that, 

this is truly how I live on this *26* day.

It's the day I look forward to savoring

 me time

 in my heart & soul.

 Listening carefully to hear my own thoughts above all else.

While I reflect on my life, I treasure the memorable birthdays I've shared with family & friends.

Mostly where do I go from here... What is my plan?

It may sound silly but that's what is important & why it's my favorite day each year...

Here are some birthday moments & silly ones too...

&

some things I love at home!

Birthday candles for tonight!

love ribbons...

A little vintage rhinestone birthday crown I found last year...

Heirloom roses from my garden....

....one more silly little thing to leave you with!

I see everyone taking selfies, sooooo I thought I would try one when I got my new i phone!

Of course... I didn't think I needed to be tech savy...

I showed it to my boys, they started laughing... 

they said, mom how did you take this?

I said really...

it's a selfie, how do you think i took it? I took it in the mirror!

Omg mom, you have it backwards!

Oh well... this is my first & last, not sure what all the hoopla is all about any whoooo!

If your an August baby like me! Happy Birthday wishes to you too!

A beautiful day Darlins,

Thanks for all your visits & comments through the year!
