Birthday Upstaged

Well, it's November 4th, a pretty important day for our nation this year. And I'm very aware that today's outcome at the voting booth may signify major changes for our country's direction. I had definitely planned on doing my part for republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain by standing in a long line to cast my vote; however, today I find myself stuck in my easy chair not feeling very well at all! I don't think I'm capable of standing for longer than five minutes, so it looks like I will not be able to assist in getting my birthday wish of a McCain victory. I must count on my fellow Americans to "get out the vote" today.

And yes, November 4th is a pretty important day every year for me. :) Unfortunately this year, I've been upstaged a bit by this "little" election. But since I'm over 30, I'm actually not that bothered by some attention being drawn away from my annual milestone. Tomorrow is another day, of which, I sincerely hope to be feeling well enough to get off my chair and maybe, just maybe, find my way to a store where I can indulge myself with the purchase of a new Vera Bradley bag. (I'm a little obsessed with Vera! Jeffery will attest.)

So, my special day will be one of much needed rest, and maybe a little reading. I find that sometimes, the Lord knocks you off your feet, so that you are forced to slow down and do a little reflecting. And as my Bible reading has been a little neglected of late, that is where I will start. Meditation on His word is always the very best medicine for whatever ales me. Maybe later, I will return and share what I read and how it blessed me. :)
