Happy Birthday, I am proud to call you my Daughter-In-Law. Your list in today’s blog fits me well, although there are a few that at my age of 82, are part of my past. In business surroundings, I kept a list of things that I wanted to do, especially for today. In retirement, I have to keep reminders on my computer of coming income and expenditures, but I would think that they serve as a list of things to take care of. Your blog today is more interesting to me than some that predomitive pertain to women’s issues, but I read them all and tell a lot of friends about your writings and give them the address. Hopefully, some of them will become readers also. Keep up the good work. Love you, DAD
Thanks, Dad - I love you, too!
Happy Birthday Debra!!!! Sorry I’m late to the party, but I’ll say a little prayer for you right now. This is a great list…
Thanks, Christine!
I just love this site.
Come back often for some inspiration !
That’s a wonderful list, Debra. I’d like to add: 40. Think big. You may surprise yourself by what you can achieve.
Thanks, Allan - and I agree 100%!
