My husband, Dave, turned 52 yesterday. We left tow My husband, Dave, turned 52 yesterday. We left town to Palm Springs for a quick retreat. 
Each time our family goes away, I spend a lot of time just staring at each of my boys... amazed at how much they’ve changed over the years. 
On this trip, all 3 of them tower over me. My husband, now with his gray stubble, still makes my heart sing. I find myself feeling so grateful that we chose each other right, almost 20 years ago! 
This birthday, my gift to him was my undivided attention! Part of that means not forcing him and the family to take pictures (hard to do!)
I managed to get this great shot. Happy birthday to my husband, Dave. My biggest cheerleader and soulmate, I love you!

• Keep your mind healthy
• Keep your body right 
• Speak up when you can affect change, when you’re being bullied, or when the relationship matters. Otherwise, don’t waste your energy. 
• Don’t build resentment 
• Say I’m sorry 
• Do the right thing. For everyone. 
• Time is our most precious asset. Guard yours with care. 
• Don’t regret 
• Rest. 
Have a great Wednesday!
