As I have been contemplating my birthday post I have wondered what I should say! This being a new year, new decade, and forty years old I have decided to not be sad about this new age but instead I am going to "embrace it!" Last year a dear friend gave me this awesome gift filled with lotions, lip balm, and creams.
It's titled Birthday Girl. On each of the items inside it has written on the bottles different philosophies. I am going to share with you the philosophy it has on the outside package!
It's titled Birthday Girl. On each of the items inside it has written on the bottles different philosophies. I am going to share with you the philosophy it has on the outside package!Birthday Girl philosophy: be grateful to have been given one more day, let alone one more year. remember to dance in your nightgown, sing in the shower, ride a bike, and fly a kite. give those you love big kisses, huge hugs, and the words "i love you" often and always. nurture your body rather than starve your soul with fad dieting. spend time with the old and the weary to better appreciate your life. on your birthday, call your mother and father wherever they are to thank them for all that they have done for you, even if you think they haven't done enough. watch the move "life is beautiful" at least once a year. remember that you are not guaranteed tomorrow and that today s as good as it gets. thank god for every"thing" every "day", every moment!
I decided that I want to live this philosophy especially this "Big Birthday" year. I also wanted to share some of my favorites at this stage of my life! So this is my list of "Favs At Forty"!!! (In no particular order!)
