BIRTHDAYS & THANKSGIVING

On Friday November 17, I turned 40 and I was looking forward to 40 with a vengeance ! It was a great day . I had a party at my house with my children and my closest friends . I received some very thoughtful gifts . This was the best birthday that I can remember in years . It was really special and it is one I won't forget anytime soon .
I also went out to dinner last night and had a wonderful time with my daughter and one of my best friends . I will top it off by spending thanksgiving with my family and celebrating my birthday with them , it is my nephews birthday on the 28th , and my sister's birthday was on the 4th so it will be a big celebration . I am making this dessert with oreo cookies , strawberries, bananas , peaches , cool whip , and blueberries it is a layered dish and it is awesome ! Of course everything is reduced fat or fat free .
I am thankful for much this year , I am so happy with my life it is full and busy but it is happy , I am content and I have reached a certain maturity that has mellowed me out some but I have the same lively spirit . I have the heart of a 20 something and I don't look a day over 35 , my personality has really blossomed . There is a contentment within me that I have never had before I feel it and it is wonderful and refreshing .
I hope that all my friends out there have a place to go for Thanksgiving or at least someone to spend it with .Happy Thanksgiving to all !
