I got this card from a girlfriend this week. I'm not even sure sheknew that today is my birthday or if she was just being sweet
for no reason at all. (She's like that!) But it ended up being
the best gift ever and just the encouragement I needed!
Sometimes the best gifts aren't really gifts at all, are they?
Yes, today is my birthday! The last of the 40's! Oh my!
I asked for a new camera and I hear I'm getting my
wish! And maybe I'll get lucky and won't have to make
dinner or do the dishes either! :)
A lovely thing for her to have done...and we all so need that! You better not have to make dinner or do dishes on your birthday! Have a really great birthday!!! :D

Sometimes we look back and wonder how "we did it" but when you are in the middle "of it" you just do it. I do believe that cards tells exactly what all of your blogging friends think of you and it was articulated so perfectly.
