Good evening everyone. I figured it was time to change post topics, because this one actually has something positive in it.

Today my "baby" boy turned 15. Other than the exponential amount of snow and wind we got today, it was a good day. We even had cheesecake for dessert, and I don't think I've enjoyed any food that much in months.

He's not the party type, so his request was to stay home and watch movies. So we did. And it was wonderful. I'm not sure what God has in store for me tomorrow, but I sure am happy for what He gave me today.

And that is all there is to report here for today...the memories of a beautiful day. It feels nice.

God bless!

Oh, Steph

What a beautiful heart you have that you are able to appreciate the simple beauty of this day and accept the joys given in the present moment! I'm rejoicing with you that you had such a lovely day with your son and family.

Happy Birthday to your big fella!
