As I add another year today, I cannot help but look back upon the mercies of my Maker and count my many blessings.

For the gift of sound mind, I remain eternally indebted, because I know what it feels like not to have one. Again, I can’t take the simple joys of sleeping and waking up for granted because yet again, I know what it feels like to lose sleep. For provision and protection from the vicissitudes of life, I remain grateful.

In sum, for the grace to successfully withstand the stressors in life, I bow my knees in obeisance.

Happy birthday to me💃🏽
