Today is my born on date!

Every year my birthday makes me so excited. After having a heart attack in April of 2010 my birthday took on more meaning for me. You see I did not think that I would turn 34 or even make to today 35!  But by the Grace of GOD I am here and I am damn happy about it.

Today has made me realize that I have been quite lax in some areas and I have settled for less in others. I am determined to live the best life possible and I am even willing to take this journey alone if that is GOD's will.

Today I am a happy woman because GOD blessed me with another year and I will be eternally grateful. Now I have a kindle full of new books from my amazing friend Keii and I am going to read until my eyes pop out! And I am going to get a pedicure and lay on my sofa while my husband makes me a steak dinner, with home made fries, garlic butter and a salad.

Once again, my friends

It is almost that time of the year! Where no one can tick me off and I become totally and completely self-centered.

Yep you guessed right it is my birthday! Not just any old birthday but my 35th birthday. And before you ask I do not feel old. I feel alive, tested but strong. I am on a journey and I am looking forward to where it goes and what happens along the way.

Somebody told me not to pray for patience anymore so I am now praying for peace and understanding of others.  I am praying for God to quiet my tongue at times. Because my mind and my mouth are quicker and deadlier than bullets at times.

Anyhow!!! 7 more days to the big day and all I want is Amazon gifts cards (told ya'll I love my kindle) Seriously I have an un-natural addiction to it. It is in my purse right next to me at this moment. I sleep with it next to me as well.

whew!

so I got this new part time job at a state office and let tell you it is in the most beautiful location. It is on a island in the Atlantic Ocean called Sandy Hook. it is a part of New Jersey of course. I just did not know that Jersey had that kind of beautiful. Just imagine driving on the freeway and coming to a place where there is nothing in front of you but ocean. And the road curves and you going onto the island.

I drive past the actual beach where people are surfing and boating. But from my office I see the most beautiful water. Although we have a lunch room most employees eat at picnic tables outside.

I am gonna take the camera on Monday and come back with some photos
