HAPPY INTERNATIONAL COFFEE DAY!!!! (September 29, many other dates) Today is my birthday and I turned 49 years old!!!! How amazing it is to me! I remember when I was a kid thinking that anyone who was this age was OLD! Hilarious!!! :D :D I know that many people don't want to say how old they are, but it is a celebration for me! Every year I can look back and think about all that I have learned, the good and bad things that happened, the challenges and victories! It's such a funny thing because I feel like a 20-year old with a child inside, and though I don't look like a kid, I'm happy that I look younger than my age! I'm happy and excited about my next year of life, it's all such a fun adventure! I am so thankful to all of you for your friendship, encouragement, and helping to make every day wonderful! *big hugs to all of you* :) Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 (April 2, 1743 O.S.) – July 4, 1826) was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and the third President of the United States (1801–1809). He was a spokesman for democracy and the rights of man with worldwide influence. At the beginning of the American Revolution, he served in the Continental Congress, representing Virginia and then served as a wartime Governor of Virginia (1779–1781). Just after the war ended, from mid-1784 Jefferson served as a diplomat, stationed in Paris. In May 1785, he became the United States Minister to France. Wikipedia: Thomas Jefferson
