55 .......
Every Piece Has a Story
Today, I am 55, and before anything else, I say Thank You, God.
Thank You for waking me up this morning. Thank You for the gift of life and for allowing me to experience another birthday, another year, another chapter.
This patchwork dress tells my story.
Every piece represents a different era of my life. Some seasons were bright, bold and colourful. Others were quieter and more difficult. There were victories and disappointments, beginnings and endings, love, lessons, growth and transformation.
Some pieces I may never have chosen for myself but looking at the whole picture today, I understand:
Every piece belongs.
Together, they have shaped the woman I am today. And at 55, I wouldn't erase a single one. I thank God for all of it.
55 is more than an age. It is 55 years of becoming.
And today, I want my celebration to be about more than receiving. I want it to be about giving life.
If you'd like to celebrate with me in a meaningful way, join us today at the National Blood Transfusion Service from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for our blood drive.
If you can't join us, encourage someone who can. Share the message. Send a friend. Give blood. Give hope. Give someone the possibility of another birthday.
Today, I wear every piece of my journey with gratitude.
55 years. Many pieces. One life. One story. And by the grace of God, I am still becoming.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
