I’m so grateful and blessed to see another year. It is only by God\u2019s grace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s only noon but the funniest thing about the day have been the birthday messages laced with the references to the COVID-19. With the exception of not being able to get Gelato\u2026 and the decision on whether to eat out or not, it feels like a regular, but ultimately still special, birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a home body by design so there really weren’t any special outings\/celebrations planned that would have had to be cancelled. I took some amazing pictures last week with Deji (Instagram<\/a>) and looking through them made the day feel all the more accomplished.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hubs bought me a cake yesterday on the cover of \u201cgoing to the dry cleaners\u201d so I am stoked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as I typed the last line, my family came upstairs with the cake, candle lit singing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There I stood, without my phone, dancing in the moment- while my hubby holds the cake (and leads the chorus), my Mother-in-love singing along with Big Mama (yup that nickname is still there) dozing on her back and Bubs jumping up and down trying to blow out the beautiful solitary candle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is generous. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Happy Birthday to Me and to everyone that celebrates Pi Day. COVID-19 or not, it\u2019s a momentous day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
