Behind

I am a little behind on posting, but I figure that is okay. I have been working really hard at trying to be grateful and/or positive for that which I have and the world around me. My birthday was this past Monday, and I had figured it would go by unnoticed. I was wrong. The weekend consisted of many fun events starting with bowling where everyone dressed up. I was on the granny rollers team, and we dressed up as grannies and bowled with the granny roll. On Saturday, I had people over to the house for a celebration. I figured around six people would show up but planned for all that had been invited. Around twenty-five friends showed up at my house ready to celebrate and have a good time. I was given homemade cards, a balloon, wine, book and cake. The night consisted of laughter and food which make a fabulous mix. Sunday, I ended up at the pool for around four hours with some friends I don't see often. Monday, my students brought chocolate cake and a movie, so we laughed and enjoyed for two class periods. I had asked God to help me not feel so lonely, and he surrounded me the entire weekend. I also received more messages than I can count in my inbox reminding me that people back home love me, and I was on their minds which is HUGE!! My prayer was answered and the loneliness disappeared to be replaced with notes, hugs, and laughter. My cup overflows.....
