Happy Birthday!

Today is NOT like any other day of the year! It's special. To me, it has a special ring to it! The number 24 stands out. March 24 is special. It's the day I was born and, I am told, the day my mom almost died. The doctor asked my dad what decision he would make, if things got complicated with my birth (which they did) and although I was never told, I am pretty sure (and would strongly have recommended it myself) that dad should choose MOM over me. She had two other young children to look after and though she had lost one little girl a few years earlier at 10 months, she was still needed to be a mom to the boys. It would not have been an easy choice but it would have been the right one. 
Nevertheless, I am happy to be here. All the more reason to love this day! I count myself very lucky and on a higher plane... blessed!
The sun is shining today and there is a blue sky and warm weather. Spring like feel in the air! Unfortunately, my husband is 'under the weather' which is rare for him. Our intent to celebrate today is to go to the movies and hopefully, he will be feeling better by then. If not, it doesn't really make a big difference to me. I am still HAPPY with the day!
I kinda wish EVERY day had the same feel to it. But then it would be a normal day and I would miss out on this great feeling! Yes, today is special. It's my birthday!
