27th is magic.

This 27th year I will:

Speak more kindly to my husband and my children.
Work really hard for something I want, even if I don't know when, or if I will get it.
Laugh. A lot.
Express my gratitude to God every day.
Use the power of my attitude for good.
Challenge myself to do something great, even if I am afraid of failing.
Show more love and affection to my husband.
Eat what is good for me, and what I love.
Be happy to be alive.

Play.
Continually strengthen my body, my spirit, and my mind.
Focus on the moments in life that really matter.

Be a better me.
Get out out there and grab life by the balls. Yep, the balls...(figuratively of course).

Loud, loving, happy adult voices bouncing off the walls. Children's laughter, shrieks of playtime joy echoing through the house. Cool summer breeze, floating through the window. Lovely, lovely evening. Thank you family (even the ones who attended in spirit). You are so generous and good to me. I am a lucky one.

Blowing out the candle on my "Queen of the Peaches Pie."

This dear lady and I have been friends for nearly 27 years.

Now THAT's commitment (and she is oh so easy to be committed to).

Love you Marn.

Oh my buttery, peachy, creamy heaven on a pretty plate.

My Moms creations knock the socks off of your taste buds.

Thank you Madre.

Well, for the love of all that is dirty and cute.

You are it Angus, you are it.



27 feels different.

Let's start this party.

Ignite this fire.

Super powers await me.

I am ready.

Come on, 27!
