Life's Little Moments
 Today is Bird’s nine-and-a-half birthday. That means that today marks the time in which she is equidistance from being nine years old and being ten. We are asked occasionally why our family celebrates half birthdays. First, let me correct one misconception – the whole family doesn’t. Just Bird. There comes a time when one stops relishing the passing of time and the addition of candles on the cake.

But when you’re young, it’s important. It’s a milestone. I remember proudly declaring my exact age when asked.
“How old are you, honey?”
“I’m seven…and 2 months!”

Here are more reasons we celebrate: Yesterday is history. Tomorrow’s a mystery. Today is a gift.                           That’s why they call it the present.

Psalm 100-15
