It's My Birthday! It's just a number!

Wow! I can't believe I am 31 today. Where did all the time go? I remember last year at this time I had just finished college and earned my degree in Business/Marketing. Was that really a year ago?

The age 31 doesn't scare me because I have a great life and am very blessed. Numbers seem to control a woman's life. I try to live by feeling instead of the hard facts when it comes to the following:
  • age
  • weight
  • bra size (ha!)
  • clothing size

Why do we let the numbers control our happiness? Is it a result of our "have to be perfect" society?

Here are my thoughts on these topics:

Age - Getting older is wonderful and having another day to make a difference in the world is a blessing.

Weight - I would much rather be happy even though I am carrying 5 extra pounds than be unhappy and stressed over 5 extra pounds.

Bra Size - Don't even get me started on bra size. Be happy with what God gave you.

Clothing Size - As far as clothing size goes, every woman is made differently and a variety of mass produced clothing is not going to fit everyone the same way. I have 1 word for women that thing every size 8 pants should fit them no matter what store they are in....ALTERATIONS.

Happines Quotations:

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." - Mohandas Gandhi

"Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." - Nathaniel Hawthorne
