Today I am feeling extra special and thankful for all the really good people in my life as they send me the best of wishes.

But I’m feeling especially blessed because this woman brought me into the world twenty-eight years ago!

Even if she weren’t my mom, I’d say she was one of the most generous, selfless women I have ever met.  Her patience is admirable, and her listening ear has helped me more than she may even know.

Thanks to both my parents for letting me be me… even if the result has been crazy (that’s what people tell me, anyway).  To the entire Kogel clan, lots of love on this day!  You have all made me feel special.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have food and snow adventures in store for this day.  I have only good feelings about my 28th year!
