Today is my oldest nephew’s birthday. He is 24 years old. I had a heckuva time finding to sleep last night so at about 1:30, I wished him a happy birthday in a Facebook post and added this song:
I told him that I used to say that when I turned 24 so long ago! It was my first year teaching when I turned 24 and I told all my students and I was, “24 Karat.” it’s too bad this song was not around then but I can share it now!
So, today, after I reapplied my cucumber mint chapstick, I realized that my nephew is 15 inches taller than me! He told me that I am and shrimp which I am but I am grateful to have made the 5 feet tall plateau! Many females in my family have not made it that far so I am “#Blessed.” I can’t believe that being 24 was so long ago for me and I had so many more physical capabilities back then!
You have more then you know
