Happy Birthday To Me....

My birthday, May 28th wasn’t always a joyous day for me. Not a lot of people know this but today is also the day my dad died. It was my third birthday and for a long time that affected me negatively. I often felt guilty for being the slightest bit happy on that day because of it. For years I felt that my birthday was just a reminder of a really bad time for a lot of people. It took me a lot of years to get over that and now I have the ability to look past it and realize that my dad would not want me to let that impede my success in any way, he certainly would not want me to carry that with me for the rest of my life and let it stop me from having true happiness.



Sometime ago I choose to move on with my life and although I do wonder about him on occasion I no longer dwell on it, I have too much to be happy about and if anything, it has made me realize just how quickly someone I love could be taken away from me.



So Happy Birthday ME…. I feel great, I have great health which equals great wealth, and I have an awesome family and a great job with great friends and couldn’t possibly ask for more. All the things that are important are laid out before me every day and I love my life.



So with our glasses lifted and no hate in my heart, here’s to another great year ahead with many more to follow….
