Wordful Wednesday - Happy 31st Birthday, Keonté!

I woke up this morning on top of the world.

It was different than most of the others birthdays I've had. 

Less empty. More full.

I can't quite put my finger on it.

It was just a feeling.

An undying warmth.

It may or may not have something to do with this special gift from my son.

Or the fact that I stumbled upon the most amazing sale at Macy's today.

Perhaps the front row action at the Disney on Ice show helped too.

Maybe it's the way things have always been.

I just needed a reminder.

Whether it be a tweet.

A post on Facebook.

A text message.

A phone call.

Words in a greeting card.

A hug.

A kiss.

A smile.

Love.

It was exactly what I needed.

I celebrated life.

I loved myself today.

It felt damn good.

I should try it tomorrow.

And the day after.

Every day.

Happy Birthday, Keonté.
