Social media websites really have a girl at heart when they set up shop. Thank goodness for FACEBOOK. It feels great to get so many Happy Birthday wishes.
All those good blessings certainly brought a smile to my face.
I really have to say I was really impressed with the Google Doodle on my birthday actually having a birthday theme with the text tip "Happy Birthday" pop up. It was really cool. Okay if you read my blog you already know FACEBOOK, Google, Email, my website are four items I check everyday. I posted Happy Birthday wishes to myself on my website. All bases covered. lol!
My eight year old granddaughter snapped this photo of me today . I don't know who wasn't keeping still me or her. But you can see by the motion in the photo it was one of us. Too funny! She is so sweet and adorable I wish I could spread a little of her sweetness all around the world.
I feel great. I feel so blessed to have turned 48. I remember a little over two years ago I was just about counted out for celebrating any more birthdays. I will never forget that down time in my life. I was working feverishly (literally) to make it my best year ever. The market is not as conducive as it was then. If I hadn't gotten sick I think I would have been close enough to taste the sweetness of my best the goals I set. I probably would have hit no where near that mark but I was about to die trying. Now I feel like bouncing back in step again. I have high hopes of making great strides from this point forward. I lost weight and put it back on and now have gradually lost weight again and it seems to be staying off. The number one reason why I feel great. I didn't realize how much heavier carrying weight feels until I lost it. I have more energy and look forward to losing a few more pounds. Keep up limiting the amount of fried food I eat, cut back on eating burgers everyday, I have even as of late cut back on the number of hot fudge sundaes with nuts I eat.
Now I finally feel revived like it is coming to me. Heck in this market I'll settle for 10%. But I'm not a 10% type person. I'm a 110% type person. I give my all and then some.
Back in June 2008 I remember being in so much pain I was praying Lord just take me and let me out of this misery. My parents were praying for my healing and recovery. Their grace prevailed over mine. Even my father who never was a praying person let my mother know he was praying for me. She told me she had never said anything about praying to her before in all the years she had known him.
I didn't enjoy my birthday with the apple of my eye but I did talk to him the day before. Of course, he didn't even realize it was my birthday. Maybe this year I'll make enough money to fly a Goodyear blimp over his house or job in big letters "have you wished Lynne Ruffin a happy birthday today?". I don't think I could be any more obvious than that. I just hope he realizes the Lynne Ruffin in the message will be me. Of course I won't do that. I love a challenge. I think that's why I am so intrigued with him. I seem to be the furthest thing from his mind.
Let me go show off my 48 and still look great shape. I have on the victory dress I wrote about in a much earlier blog and it zipped just fine!
Have a great day!
