What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Today is not only my birthday but my baby sister's as well; she's 14 years my junior coming in to her own at a fresh 21 years of age. I tease her a lot and tell her she was our families surprise blessing in disguise. It's been amazing watching her grow up. She reminds me a lot of myself when I was searching, seeking trying to find out who I am and where I fit in this world. Would I want to be 21 again-not for all the tea in China. I've come to appreciate who I am at this age and stage in my life. With each year that God graces me to live and breath on this earth, I'm thankful for the woman I've become. It took a while for me to learn to be comfortable in my own skin. I guess age has a way of doing that to you.

Although my day was spoiled by rain, which flooded most of the DFW Metroplex, I spent it inside the tranquil and cozy atmosphere of the Elizabeth Arden Spa--a special treat from my best friend. We each had a facial, massage, manicure and pedicure. It was heaven on earth. I left this oasis feeling pampered and a bit spoiled. A girl could easily get used to the finer things in life.
