Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 67th birthday!

I have now lived four years and two days longer than my mother did.

Cathy asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday. I said nothing particular. Heck as a mostly retired person I can do just about what ever I want every day. What do I want for my birthday? Nothing. I can't think of anything that I want.

As far as the kids go, don't buy me a necktie or underwear.  I want something from the kids.  I want them to take me for a hamburger on their dime.  I want to spend time with them.

Now think about all of this. How fortunate am I. How fortunate are most of us. We have more stuff than we need and we have time for all kinds of enjoyable things.

That alone should make me/make us very grateful. We are so blessed. We are so fortunate.

To see what we have and appreciate what we have should make us thankful and humble.

I thank God for 67 years and for the gift of life. I thank God for friends and for every person that loves me.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
