I thought about writing something profound in honor of my 40th birthday today...something like "40 reasons I'm grateful." I actually began mentally composing such a post this morning, which was a wonderful exercise in gratitude and blessings-counting.
But I'm having such a lovely, simple, quiet day...a day to rest and just be with my little girl, a day where I've been struck quite forcefully by just how contented I feel to be living in this moment. Thank you, Lord.
So I thought I'd just post this photo, which I took several mornings ago when the sweet girl was playing with her colorful rocks. Sometimes the joys we feel are hard to capture in words. Sometimes a photo feels like a poem. For some reason, this one seems to capture the state of my heart today. If I figure out why, I'll let you know.

What a beautiful picture! It's so joyful-looking, especially the way the sun seems to be hitting that rainbow of rocks. Glad to hear you've been having such a nice birthday! :)
Happy 4oth Birthday! And yes, sometimes those quiet sweet moments make the best birthdays.

Thanks, Erin! It was indeed a wonderful birthday, one of the best I can remember in a long time. Just filled with small but simple joys and lots of reminders of how many great people are in my life!
Thanks, Pat! It was so nice to have a day that felt so peaceful and quiet. Not that I didn't get a few funny cards, of course :-) to liven things up with laughter.
