Today was an easy day to find joy. It is my birthday and being surrounded by my husband, kids, and an ice cream cake sparks nothing but joy in me. Especially the cake, which was delicious. My husband bought me a “Family is Forever” sign. When I opened it, he told me, “That isn’t a threat, you know. I really do mean it.” Few things in his life occur without a joke or a punchline. The sign immediately made me smile. I genuinely hope that my family will be a “forever” thing. I hope that in years to come we will still spend joyful birthdays together, hopefully eating ice cream cake.
