Thirty-One.

Thirty-One.

Yesterday I celebrated me and all my thirty-one years.

I was treated to lunch with a friend and a basket of goodies… coffee and scones… seashells and heart rocks… sunshine and warm air… flowers and chocolates… pretty clothes and handmade jewelry… a visit with my mom and phone calls and emails from friends and family… hugs from my little ones and kisses from my husband… dinner plans for this weekend and a bottle of wine… a beautiful and blissful birthday!
