Birthday Wishes

Soon to be 59 years of age.
August 1, 1952, in pea green St. Luke's Hospital, Jacksonville, Florida.
Each year I celebrate earlier and later. I'm now deep into July, and have received two gifts !! My people know me so well, no delayed gratification lives here. Not only do I "Happy Birthday" myself for months on end, I buy myself some treasures. I started today with some darling cereal bowls, two skirts and some flowers. A bunch of Gerber Daisies, for the birthday girl. You see I have learned after so many years, to buy my own gifts, and many!! There will be cards and sweet things coming for days from friends and relatives. I love them all BUT...I'm prepared if there is a lull. This is my last year in the fifties, so I have bought extra. It is just the right thing to do, and smart. Realistic expectations of humans, sometimes falters. I want to be fair, so I don't expect much, and I'm always pleasantly surprised. My people have jumped on the "Birthday Train" with me, and enjoy the silly, hoopla of celebrating for days!!! It just makes you feel so worth it, happy to be alive for another glorious year!!! Treat yourself special and see what happens.
Happy Birthdays to my dad, who turns 80, Susan and Paula my friends for life. Summer birthdays!!
