Birthday Memories


Birthdays should be greatly celebrated.

Cards, gifts, emails, texts, social media messages and, of course, phone calls were all part of this year's birthday celebration. 

In addition, around here, it's the birthday month that is celebrated. 

As always, on my birthday, I whispered a thank you to my late mom for having me.


She is somewhere in the great beyond, hopefully putting in a good word for me with Almighty God.

My greatest gifts this year were my grandchildren, both near and far.

Seeing their little faces, either in person or on computer screen, fills me with sheer joy and gratitude for being alive.

HOW DO YOU LIKE TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY?

Like you, I think birthdays should be celebrated all month. Small continuous treats and reminders of all we are grateful for in our lives.

Wishing you a very happy birthday and a wonderful year ahead, Susan.

I celebrate my birthday with my family members when possible and if not with my best friends. I get lots of birthday greeting cards ad keep them for an entire year in a safe place . I like to re read them during the year.
