Fortunes Full

I just turned 37, and I have to say I am fortunes full. It’s rumored that a life which is rich is not necessarily equivalent to dollar signs, but how you feel inside. I think that’s fairly accurate, if not completely true. When I think back on my life till now, I have lived a very full, exciting, and to some even daring life. Yet, there was always something missing. There was always a void that I felt I needed to fill. Unabashedly, I don’t feel that way anymore. I feel complete, whole, and happy. Now there’s a back story as to how I arrived at this place of genuine happiness, but I’ll share that another day.

Long story short, I feel so fortunate today and everyday that I wake up. Why? The biggest reason is because of my little family. It took me much longer than most women to find that one special man to have a family with and now I have this amazing son! I don’t need presents or cards or cake or songs for my birthday this year. I have all I need. I feel rich beyond compare and I have the big guy upstairs to thank. Another year around the sun and this time I’ll have my boy by my side keeping me in smiles.
