Two to Forty

Today marks number 38.  38 times I've been blessed to wake healthy and loved.  38 years to have parents that have stood behind me and beside me - even when they probably didn't want to.  38 candles to wish upon, give thanks to, share with my 3 boys (cue the music from My Three Sons and yes - I am including the hubby.)

So - with inspiration from my beautiful friend Jodie who has given me so much food for thought as well as fed my soul, I am beginning a blog with a countdown of 40 things to do in the next two years.  While this may seem a bit wimpy as far as life lists go, there is purpose and challenges with many of these items that may entail preparation, training and time. 

In the mean time I would like to share my trials and klutzy trips into writing, my joys and "oh, wow" moments with two tween boys under my roof and random thoughts that on occasion will call for pondering.  (And for those of you that know me best, you also know that will not be that difficult.)

To all those who have sent your birthday wishes - I thank you.  My wish for this year is to find happiness in each day, count my blessings and to wade my way deeper into things that may make me uncomfortable.  At least then I can always say I tried.
