Today my birthday, December 7th. I decided that turning 35 is a milestone; old enough to know something, but still young. So to take a day off from what I normally do and to officially waste time, I spent the day putting together a slide show modeling my 35 years of bliss. Of course my life is not always blissful, but I choose to focus on the positive and happy times. Remember, "in every life, no matter how full or empty one's purse, there is tragedy. It is the one promise life always fulfills. Thus happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but delight in it when it comes" (thank you Charles Dickens). Here are some of those happy moments to share with you. Ignore the vanity... hey, its my birthday!
Love,
Tracey

Well Little Bomb (only a Grandpa could give a nickname like that!)happy birthday Late, On-time, and Early! Fun slide show. Glad you've had 35 good ones. Keep focusing on the good.
Loved the contrasting shoe piles. Those darn Westerners! Maybe there's a park etiquette shoe rule you don't know about.
Take care,
Megan

Happy Birthday Tracey!
You are amazing-what a life you lead. Keep smiling and focus on the happy stuff first! See you very soon!
Happy Belated Birthday Tracey. That was a fun slide show. 35 came pretty fast didn't it!! It seems like yesterday we were back in High School being kids. Looks like you are still in touch with your youth, having fun and all!!! Keep up the great work.

Although this Happy Birthday message is late, the sentiment is still the same: I hope you had a wonderful birthday! It was so great to see that slideshow - you are beautiful. And, holy cow, I was amazed at how much you and Emma look alike! You are an inspiration to so many, and an amazing example of friendship. I'm so glad I crossed paths with you in Bton . I am a better person because I know you, MadQueen!
Missed your birthday. Sorry! Loved your slide show. You are beautiful, fun and seriously skinny! Congratulations on making it to 35! Age is good. I just sent you a Christmas card to Bloomington. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and are set up to have a fantastic Christmas. I love your guts! Love, Melanie
Love love LOVED your slide show!! You do look great, and what a fantastic idea, it was so fun to see you at ALL stages! ;)
I know I already commented, but I just checked everyone else's comments. What a fun birthday sight. Save these and re-read them on bad days. What great friends. I think I'll do the same for my birthday wish. Very fun. Tell Mark to let me in on his blog. I would love to see his family. I'm not an "allowed" user yet. Thanks. Love you! I can't believe how many people commented. Just missing a few family. ha ha. :)
