solsc.2012: wishes 29/31

Today is kind of a special day . . . it's my birthday!  Really, it's just another day.  But how do I want to remember this year?  How can I capture it here?  I've thought about it and thought about it and scribbled ideas in my notebook. I could borrow Terje's 'before and now' format.  I could write a poem.  Or, what I've learned in 36 years like Deb wrote last year. Ah, I have an idea!  Birthday wishes!  Oh, wait.  I think I did something like this last year.  Oh well, I guess I liked the idea, so I'll try it again.  (I promise not to peek until this post is complete.)

Here are 36 birthday already-came-true-wishes . . . in no particular order!

1. My two precious daughters
2. My lovey hubby
3. My supportive family - Mom, Dad, Bro Scott
4. Faith in God
5. Beautiful Grace
6. Abounding love
7. True happiness
8. Play! (My One little word)
9. Good Health
10. Words, words, words
11. Books, books, books
12. Naps 4 All
13. Sunny days
14. Highlights
15. Fresh haircut
16. Pretty jewelry
17. New purse
18. Dark chocolate
19. Mint chocolate chip ice cream
20. Laughing and laughing
21. Walks around the block
22. Screened in porch
23. Fresh bouquet of flowers
24. Smelly lotions
25. Time to enjoy life
26. Fun friends
27. Words with friends
28. Board games
29. Fire pits
30. S'mores
31. Hot cocoa
32. Chocolate cake
33. Do you see a pattern here about chocolate?
34. Pinterest
35. Writing
36. My Slice Of Life community

Cheers!  Here's to many, many more!

    Happy Birthday! This one,"Mint chocolate chip ice cream" is my favorite because it is my favorite snack that I rarely allow myself to have.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem.
