Today is my birthday!  It is the one day of the year that I am excused for all the glitter, sparkles, rhinestones and bright and shiny articles that adorn my world. 

Most days, I am attempting to justify these articles.  You see I have a love affair with reflective objects.  Not my reflection!  I did not say I was suffering from a narcissistic condition!  I struggle to walk away from all those colorful glitter packs at the craft store.  I know that I should start a 12-step group for my addiction to all things bright and beautiful but, I don’t want to.

I believe that of all days, today I can celebrate the joy of the sparkly things that surround me.  I can relish my understanding husband and enjoy the reality that I am just a girly girl at heart!
