Words from a Reader

The “Writing Life Stories” e-mails I receive are such treasures. As soon as I see there is one in my inbox, I read it immediately. I look forward to them and never know how they will touch me. They can be interesting, informative, humorous, and/or touching.

A Birthday Celebration with Loved Ones

Today I celebrated my birthday with my sister and my nieces in Roswell, GA. We laughed because a few months ago I told them how old I would be today, but later realized I was ahead of myself.

I am a year younger than I thought. That gave me more cause to celebrate - a year younger than I had thought I was!What a relief!

No matter my age, the joy of sharing this special day with Gay, Lee, Lyn and Mary, and reading the sweet words on the cards they brought me, filled my heart with love and happiness. I am most fortunate to have them in my life. Mary made June's banana pudding which was my mother's recipe, so I felt they were with me also. We ate on Gay's sun porch overlooking the woods and the lake. A day I will remember. 
Lovely Lee had a cold, but it did not dampen her smile.
I had a surprise for my birthday that I didn't like, however. Yesterday, I broke out with hives all over my hands, arms and legs. Luckily I was on my way to see my dermatologist for a yearly checkup. I thought last night the bumps had all gone away and the itching had stopped, but tonight it has resumed worse than it was. I have evidently developed an allergy to a medication I am taking - possibly a blood pressure pill - so I will have to do some trial and error tests to find out. If anyone has found a good way to stop hives, I am open to suggestions. 
Of course the first thing I did was look online for all the info I could find. Now I know some things that cause the skin problem, and I'll have to figure out what triggers this in me.
