A little bit older feeling

I will admit that this birthday was celebrated with mixed emotions. Lately I have been having that feeling that the passage of time is out of my control, and July 30th just reaffirms that.
While it wasn't the most glamorous or exciting, my happy birthday was waking up to kisses and well wishes, and playing and gardening in a dress, and having my father-in-law sit in while I hit an estate sale, and enjoying a surprise oreo cake from my mother and sister in law while being sang to by Ori...
and savoring one extra slice of cake after the kids went to bed, sans exterior icing.
