The years fly by...

Cake for breakfast. It's a thing!

The calendar tells me that today is my birthday.

And while I’ve long ago given up on the notion that any single day is more special than any other - because every day is a gift - I’m perfectly okay to make an exception every May 8th.

I’m keenly aware that we’re given a finite number of days, and even fewer birthdays. I’m also aware that I’m one of the lucky ones, as I’m surrounded by the kind of family most people can only dream of.

What I especially love about them is the way they celebrate the little things no matter where we’re at on the calendar, the simple joys of being together and making core memories out of the everyday. I’m sure we’ll have cake at some point today, but I know tomorrow will also bring its own sense of shared joy.

May we all have reasons to enjoy the time we’ve been given. May we all be blessed to be surrounded by those who want to share in those fleeting moments.
