- A beautiful bunch of potted calla lilies
- That I-can’t-contain-my-excitement look Calder got when I was being silly on the car-ride home tonight
- Faith
- Sweet hugs and birthday love from my favorite six-year-old
- Squeals of giggling this evening when my favorite four-year-old remembered it was my birthday! 🙂

- Hope
- All the wonderful posts in Facebook-land
- Dipping French fries in a frosty during dinner!

Sounds like a day of richest blessings. Perhaps the richest blessing of all is your awareness of how blessed you are! Happy birthday!
