Today is the day.....when I woke up this morning I was sixty. I put it off as long as possible, ignoring a friend's suggestion that I get up at 12:01 AM to get the most out of the day! Sigh....
Instead of whining, I thought I'd show you or talk about some of the women who helped make me who I am in my old age today.
Mama......my precious mama
My Grandma.......
My Cma.........
My sisters.......
My sisters in law who are like my sisters!
Others include all my wonderful aunts who helped mold me and gave me examples to follow.
My mothers in law who have been mamas to me too!
My daughters in law who each brought different qualities into my life, have loved my sons, have loved me and I love like they are my own daughters.
My granddaughter.
My nieces.
My friends, young and well around my age, too many to ever list....but be assured that each of you have helped make me who I am today.
And all you friends here in blog land.....you are each counted among my good friends!
And all you friends here in blog land.....you are each counted among my good friends!
Each and every one of you, mama, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, daughters in law and friends......both those who are still here on earth and those who are in heaven, you have all been such important parts of my life, making me a stronger and better woman.
Thank you and I love you all!
So from this birthday.......

There's a whole new decade ahead and God willing more after that.....so look out world, I'm not done yet!
