I have never been a jouranl keeper BUT my birthday just past and a friend gave me jouranl. This was just before our trip was confirmed. I knew the message I was receiving....keep track of this glorious time in my life. I will try since I have received so much encourgement. I will tell you this also...On my birthday, my husband did not take anything out of the freezer for diner. He suggested we go out. Money is tight since his operation and I hesitated. He went to find a pair of pants to fit over his healing but bloated belly. My Dad died suddenly this past February and my Mom gave my husband some pants that were too big for him. John grabbed a pair thinking they might work. In the pocket was $40. which he handed to me and said "Happy Birthday from Pop-Pop. You can imagine the tears that welled up although they were sweet tears. We went to dinner and the bill came to $40.06. Sixth sense? This was my first journal entry in my new book.

I also received the book "The five people you meet in Heaven".

Quite a theme for my birthday huh? It was my best birthday ever.
