It’s My Birthday! Cheers to 35!

It's my birthday and I'll cry if i want to right?! -- Okay .. Maybe not .. but in all honesty.. maybe I will because for some reason this birthday is seeming to hit me just a little differently.

Maybe its because I am getting older - as my teenage kiddo keeps reminding me. That as 35. I am "halfway" to 70... or maybe its the simple fact that over the last year I battled some of the hardest things in my health that I ever had. Coming off Hay season 2023 just feeling utterly drained and suffering from ongoing issues. I made an appointment that resulted in multiple tests and doctors visits to getting some of the crappest news you can get. But we made it.. We survived and finally after almost a year I am starting to feel more and more like my "old self" again.. but really am i ever going to be the same again..

I think that is also something i have been mentally strugglign with - I will never be what I was in the past. and thats a GOOD thing. Because God doesn't want us to stay stuck in the past. Harboring on to those past feelings. Each Day is a NEW day - a fresh start. a New sunrise.. and for that I am even more Grateful and THankful for.

I survived Cancer. I survived Surgery. I Survived another Hay Season with Jason. I have so much to be living for in this next season of life. So here's to all the exciting things to come in "35"...
