Thanks Scarecrow. My birthday started out good and has gotten better all day long.

I'm going to get mushy for a second, so those that are easily affected please tune out.




I have a lot to be thankful for and I feel truly blessed for the people I have in my life. I have a great family that I love dearly, and I have good friends that I treasure (of whom Pixies peeps are definately a part of), and I have people that really do mean the world to me, because they are a part of my being...mind, body and soul.

I'm grateful and thankful for it every day, but I'm taking advantage of the birthday soapbox to say it out loud.

Thanks for the well wishes, and thanks for listening.

(((((hugs))))) to all of you!
