Thank you everyone for your thoughtful birthday wishes!
Most of all thank you to Electrocell, who somehow remembered it was my birthday from last year! A little clever searching and hy found it!
I was not going to celebrate my birthday this year. As someone that thought, somehow, I was never going to age-it has been a surprise to see the years stacking up!
I was a little blue when I woke up but seeing the thread sure brightened my day!
My birthday was quiet but lovely. Out to dinner with my love, a dozen roses, a beautiful card and a lovely bracelet. Cards from people at work, calls from my daughters.
I woke up today feeling very fortunate!
The heck with age, I have everything that I ever needed or ever wanted.
Thanks also for this community. It has meant a lot to me.
Thank you.
