Turning 40

I've never been concerned about my age. It's just a number in my book. But this year the number got much bigger. I think having small kids made turning 40 easier to swallow. What also made it easier is having awesome friends. My good friend, Mary, took the time to organize a card giving extravaganza. She contacted most of my family and most (or all) of my facebook friends and asked them to send me a birthday card (but to her house). And so starting forty days before my birthday (Dec. 20th, which is Mary's birthday) I received a card everyday. It was the biggest blessing. I got cards from friends that I haven't been in contact with since middle school or high school. I got cards from friends I did Young Life with 20 years ago. Wow! I love getting cards anyway, so to get over 40 was amazing. Thank you, Mary, for organizing such a special gift.
