01.28.2023 | Sunny Saturday

What a difference a day makes.  Just a few days ago we were under a Winter Storm Warning.  Today we might hit 60-degrees with bright sunshine.  Typical of Saint Louis winters.  You have to embrace and love the variety.

We are heading out the door soon for a first birthday party for our sweet Great-Niece.  How did I get to this age?  It's weird to look in the mirror and see the person I see.  I don't feel like I've aged but the proof is in the mirror.  Please, do not get me wrong.  I wouldn't trade the person I am today for a younger version.  I could do with fewer aches and pains, but I've grown to like the person I am today.  That hasn't always been the case.  I think that is the gift of age.  Acceptance of the things you can't change and the time and willingness to change the things you can.  Apologies to Saint Francis but I believe it to be true.  At least in my little corner of the world.  

Have a simple, ordinary weekend.  It's a great day to get out and about.  Enjoy the beautiful weather.  Look for the little things to brighten your life.  Amen.
