The Big 4-oh!!

Today's post is in honor of my brother...he's an old, old man today!!  He's turning the big four-oh!  Here's to you Nathan!!  You've worked so hard to make your dreams come true.  I hope you have a great day and year...I love you!!

I'm fortunate, and I'm glad

I got you for my brother;

Even if I had the chance,

I wouldn't pick another.

Instead of counting candles,

Or tallying the years,

Contemplate your blessings now,

As your birthday nears.

Consider special people

Who love you, and who care,

And others who’ve enriched your life

Just by being there.

Think about the memories

Passing years can never mar,

Experiences great and small

That have made you who you are.

Another year is a happy gift,

So cut your cake, and say,

"Instead of counting birthdays,

I count blessings every day!"

I'm happy you're in my life;

You're my winner, come what may.

May your birthday wishes come true

On your very special day.
