Today is my birthday.  I.am.50.  I read a sign that said "The days are long; The years are short" and believed it!  Many difficult events occurred in the past decade that would test most anyone.  Part of what has inspired my heART was working through the tough stuff. 

Grace continues to be the reigning energy of goodness.  I continue to find reasons to be grateful. 

As posted on my facebook wall...
