May 24th is my favorite day!
Because we were adopted,
my Mother always made sure
that my brother's & MY birthday
was the most special day of the year!
Gotta give to to her,
she went all out each time,
& really made us happy on these days!
His is June 12th,
And we never fail to call each other
& reminisce on Mother's gigantic efforts -
while subconsciously
carrying on the tradition
of showing the other we choose us!
Anyway,
Tue May 24th I turned 64!
I felt excited & happy!
Not everybody GETS to be 64, you know?!
I didn't chide myself
for becoming old, fat & dumpy...
I can walk,
talk,
feed myself (uh- OBVIOUSLY,)
think in my right mind,
(usually...)
Heck - I am glorious!
Doris had a big butterfly balloon,
& 3 smaller balloons for me!
(love them!)
- 3 wonderful cards,
& beautiful flowers!
Went out for a quiet dinner
@ The Olive Garden,
then home
for the finale of Dancing With the Stars!
I felt HAPPY
& at peace all day.
What Me Worry?
We are BLESSED.
Retirement makes us giddy
& birthdays are now
just another wonderful day
to remind us how lucky we are
to have our lives together!
Another time
I shall write about feeling disgruntled
about the bitch of aging (un)gracefully.
But mercifully not tonight!
