A small sampling of the gifts I received from my friends and family. I wanted to share this photo as a reminder to myself that I have so many incredibly thoughtful people in my life and I feel so blessed because of it. After you "grow up", gifts are not expected for birthdays that's why I am so surprised that these people went out of their way to shower me with gifts voluntarily. In a world where time is short, people can be so busy running around with the day to day tasks, i greatly appreciate when people carve out time to spend with me. Thanks to EVERYONE who shares themselves and their time with me, however brief. That is a gift in and of itself️️
