How does one even begin to express a heart filled with gratitude for a super duper birthday?
The entire month of September has been a gala birthday month.
My little granddaughter was born the day before my own birthday and there were celebrations galore for both of us!
Truly, the abundance of love, kindness and generosity shown overwhelms me.
I got so many awesome phone calls, text, blog and email messages, numerous renditions of the birthday song sung to me, at least a dozen cards and a small mountain of wonderful, deeply appreciated gifts.
Shown to the right is a huge basket filled with gifts from my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.
More details on other gifts are to come in future posts.
We had a delicious dinner, too, and below is a photo of my favorite spring rolls:
One of my all time sayings came to pass this special September birthday: "To love and be loved is the greatest joy on earth."
To every well wisher who contributed to my special day, thank you, from the bottom of my very full and happy heart.
HOW DO YOU LOVE TO BE REMEMBERED ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY?

Happy to hear that your birthday was so special for you! It's obvious that there is LOTS of love in your life, and that makes each day special. I have often said that as long as there's birthday cake, I hope to keep having birthdays, and I love to share them with those I love. Have a blessed year coming up, Susan! :-)
You are well loved. Happy birthday to you!
Well how wonderful! a happy birthday to You and Your baby Granddaughter.Glad to here We all share Sept. as birthday months.Blessings to both of You.Denise
My family knows I'm always a little behind, but I make up for it with celebrating the month, rather than just the day! Happy Birthday, dear friend, XOXO
I don't believe I knew when your birthday is celebrated, Susan. I send along happy birthday wishes to you. Those roses are gorgeous!
I think we all need to feel that we are a little special, particularly on our "special day." Our oldest daughter was born on my birthday, so our celebrating is shared. Then, two days later, my husband has HIS birthday. April is a month of celebrating for us.:-)
Have a happy week-end!
Hugs,
Nellie
Dearest Susan, you just sound soooo happy. My best Birthday wishes for you to continue the entire year. I know God will bless you in many ways. You certainly are a blessing in my life.
Love ya,

Hello from Spain: congratulations to you and your granddaughter for your birthday. It's a great day. You had a happy day surrounded by family and friends. Keep in touch
I'm so impressed, Susan. I love it that you spend a whole month celebrating your birth. That's pretty special, and those roses ... wow!
As for me, I tend to low-key the whole birthday thing for myself (that age thing and all), but you've given me a new perspective.
