60% cool. 40% you

i'm a bit ashamed of the fact that a few weeks ago i told my husband he was only 60% cool.  yes, it was in reference to his tattoos - but none the less it was the wrong thing to say.  as i've thought about my comment i've aquated it to the age old question (usually by a women), "am i fat?" to which the right answer by the significant other is, or at least should be, "NO, your beautiful and i love YOU!".  so, why in this moment did i feel the need to say what i really felt?t

another year


as i sit watching the sun rise through the trees i smile in the fact that i have been blessed by another year.  i am in awe of what i have been blessed with.....wait, not just "awe" but supreme amazement.  seriously, who am i?  to be given the gift of a divine love that surpasses all things through Christ. a husband who loves, supports and encourages me in all ways.  my children who look up to me as their mentor, teacher, provider.  my mom,dad, step-mom, brothers who love me for me and know the good, bad and ugly and still show up to celebrate my birthday.  my friends both near and far who remind me i am not alone on this journey and choose to laugh, sing, create, cry alongside me.  i am blessed.  blessed beyond words.  thank you for journeying life with me in all my 37 years.
"You have done so much for me, O Lord. No wonder I am glad! I sing for joy."
Psalm 92:4 The Living Bible
