I have some of the nicest friends. I really do. You know that day once a year when you wake up and there is a different number assigned to your life? Well I am having that experience today.
Working at a College has kept me young and I do not take myself too seriously. But for some reason this year's number is hard to swallow. I think because it is the start of a new milestone countdown. I realize that numbers do not mean much and my gray hair and crow's feet were telling my story before I opened my mouth, so in honor of today I have come up with a list of the top ten (or six) reasons the people I know are the best.
1. They buy me ice cream cake! I love ice cream cake. No matter the maker or the flavor. It is my hands down favorite things about birthdays since I have gotten older.
2. They drive from far away to see me for lunches or craft projects. Or to share ice cream cake. Or to surprise me after they go to China One.
3. I have great friends to talk me into walking 5Ks (exercising in general) or volunteering with other projects that I always end up enjoying.
4. I have mystery candy deliveries in my mailbox on important mornings like this. Whoever dropped those delicious reeses pieces in my mailbox you are my hero. Breakfast...check.
5. I have voicemails and text messages already and I am not really awake yet. That is dedication people.
6. I am lucky to have such a friendly office too. I work with some pretty sweet people that make sombrero wearing the best time ever. I go to the same Mexican restaurant every year for my birthday with the ResLife staff. I love refried beans. This year I got to wear the sombrero while they sang Happy Birthday. It was awesome.
On a scale of one to ten today I feel like an eleven. I feel pretty great for an old broad.
