My Ride

In November of 2007, I had a 3 week old baby and was lying flat on my back in the hospital with blood clots in both lungs. 
I was 29 and not sure I'd see 30. 
But tomorrow, I'll be 32!

God bless you all, happy birthday to me
and Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "Woo Hoo! what a ride!"
