About Me

My photo
I have discovered it is really hard to be Queen in a household with 3 princesses! Somebody is always borrowing my tiara! Well in between hunting my stuff down I am the proclaimed Queen in the Land of fluff (where my husband swears one day that he will die from glitter lung (you get the picture!) Besides that I am a dieting, exercising, crafting, biblestudying kind of girl.

Today is my birthday!

Today is my birthday - so this post is later in the day. I know Birthdays are not supposed to be as big of a deal to an adult as a child. However, I love birthdays! (Now mind you not necessarily seeing my age get 1 year older), but I love that on your birthday your friends, and family take the time to call, send cards and just tell you "Happy Birthday" or that they "love ya" . How special does that make you feel!!!
Now words of affirmation is one of my "Love Languages" I confess. It is amazing how special we feel when someone takes the time to tell you how important you are to them, or that they just enjoy talking to you or spending time with you. The gift of appreciation is such a gift it kinda of lifted me off the ground & I swear I just floated everywhere I went today!

I am always overwhelmed at how special I feel by the end of my birthday I promise I want to pass that feeling forward to my friends & family. Gifts are nice - however appreciation or validation is a sweeter gift that touches our hearts long after our birthday has passed.

Has anyone touched your heart on your birthday with affirmation or validation? How did they express themselves (call, card, email, a face book shout out, flowers with a note, I know there are some I haven't thought of)
