Tackle It Tuesday – Tackling My Birthday

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Yes, it’s once again that one day of the year that causes me to shudder and want to hide. It’s my birthday. I don’t care to celebrate, I really would be happy to just hide out and get through the day unnoticed, but there is no denying that I am now another year older. So today, I am tackling my birthday head on.

I slept in about 20 minutes in honor of my birthday. I then got up & got showered and dressed and when I came out into the kitchen to make my coffee, this is what I found. I have to tell you, this was the BEST way to start my day, the day I usually try to avoid. It put a huge smile on my face!

I want to thank my husband for being so sweet for doing this. It may seem like a small gesture to many, but this is exactly what I needed to get my day going on a positive note! Thanks also to my sister Karen who just called me and sang a beautiful rendition of the birthday song to me! Happy Birthday to me!

    Happy Happy Birthday!!! That was so sweet of your husband – I’m glad he got your day off to such a great start! And what are those rabbits (or are those cats, what are they anyway??) – is it Hoops and Yoyo? They are SO funny! We love sending each other the e-cards with those two characters from the Hallmark site. Have a GREAT day!

    Happy Birthday!

    “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!” Rose (87 years young)
