it was my mama's birthday yesterday! and if we were to judge a book by it's cover, this book looks like it just turned 29! and i don't mean that in a 'women-must-lie-about-their-age-for-fear-of-losing-value-past-the-age-of-thirty' way. i mean that in a lady's-face-looks-young-and-her-smile-looks-glorious way. people have this tendency to down play their birthdays as they get older or flat our request that people ignore it. i think it stems from the belief that older people are obsolete in our society. that's a major NO WAY in my book, and if anything, birthdays should become an even BIGGER deal as you get older. you've gained another year of experiences and valuable life knowledge - you are even more of an asset to your loved ones and community!my mom is wonderful, beautiful (inside & out style!) lady who seriously puts up with a lot of baloney from me. anytime i feel like whining about how hard it is to be in my twenties (i know, i know - feel free to send hate mail to the big ol' baby) she's right there with a comforting or honest word, an encouraging pre-work text, or a thoughtful card in the mail. she has beautiful handwriting, shiny hair, and is the best story-teller i know. she's an amazing hostess and friend and i feel so lucky that she's my mom.
happy birthday mama! hope your day was magnificent.
