It's My Bloomin' Birthday!

                                                                         

                                        
                                        Butterflies are free We are too If we choose to be!

Today, I choose to be and I say Happy Birthday to me!
Living in an area where we have had forest fires for almost two months, we really needed rain. This morning I woke up to rain that had fallen all night. What an amazing birthday gift! I haven't seen the skies this blue in awhile. And I heard birds singing, a sound that's been silent for too long.
I find as I have gotten older, I reflect more on the past. Through the years, I learn to let go of negative, painful times, not to give power to those who have hurt me. 
It's important to focus on gratitude. Appreciate life, be thankful that I am here.
Fortunately, I am able to get outside today, where I really do feel free. Feeling the wind, enjoying the sunshine. 
It is my birthday celebration. And I am very grateful.
