Today is my birthday. Over the last (almost) eight years, I have celebrated with a list of some sort on this day. Today is no different. Today I write about 42 things I BELIEVE in -- my one little word for 2018. (In no particular order, just what came to mind ...)

I believe in ...

1. my God
2. my husband and his patience and love

4. my daughters and for who they are becoming
5. a few really good friends that I trust and adore

7. prayers
8. new adventures
9. experiencing life through my daughters' eyes
10. snuggles and kisses goodnight

12. hope, hope, hope
13. chocolate and the power it has to make me feel better
