About 20 years ago I had a stroke. They never really found the cause, and I haven't had any incidents since. But it changed my way of thinking. Instead of dreading getting older and hating yet "another" birthday. I learned to embrace each one. Oh all the wonderful moments I would have missed. My first birthday after the stroke I started buying myself a present to celebrate. Sometimes it is as small as an ornament for the tree sometimes it is larger. One year I bought tickets to go visit my sister, another year I went to see my daughter and grandson. Last year I bought my camera.
Yesterday I had left my camera in my friends car. So today I stopped by her work to pick it up. On my way home, on a whim I decided to do a little christmas browsing. I found this Beautiful candle holder! This is my Birthday gift this year!
Today I am grateful for all the wonderful moments that I didn't miss out on!
