There are things to celebrate today....and most of them don't have anything to do with Valentine's Day. I know that's a thing today....but not as big of a thing as these other things.
Our family celebrated Nate's (our oldest) birthday this morning with a simple breakfast at Margie's place.....I love it when we're all together. Nate's birthday is actually on Groundhog's Day...but he was sick over his birthday so today was the day!
Nate has grown into quite am amazing young man and Paul and I are so proud of him. He has overcome some pretty difficult obstacles in his life including cancer...and I believe he is stronger....and more grateful for because of it all.
Paul is retired...but he's going to work tonight to do an Ash Wednesday service. He has been a Bridge Pastor for a small church in Scarborough for a while now...just doing Sunday services and special ones like tonight. I'm so proud of him for finding opportunities in retirement to continue to use his crazy mad preacher skills....and I'm so appreciative for all he does for me and our family.
Paul is my biggest cheerleader. He supports everything I do no matter how big of a mess I make.
Today's featured Other Things are fabulous! From birthday celebration to celebration of Ash Wednesday, you made Valentine's Day your own : )
ReplyDeleteYou are a master calendar maker, MaryAnn! I'm reminded that I created a handmade engagement calendar for my mom for about ten years running.
Hats off to you for actually doing the homework on blooms and bleeds with enough success to understand how different techniques can be used to get different effects, and I further applaud your commitment to practice the techniques repeatedly so you can really own them.
Thanks for the enthusiastic comment Dotty. It's much appreciated. It was a good day of celebrating "other things!"
