I't's my birthday! Good grief; I'm supposed to write Something Profound, I suppose, as I turn toward my 74th year on this earth.
I love life: but that doesn't seem especially "deep," I fear. Still, I think my love for life has been my sustenance and courage during all the ups and especially the downs that came my way over the years.
I know I've been very blessed by God; so many good things and great people have come my way that I can't begin to enumerate them all (but Beloveds, you know who you are).
Have I never been discouraged, despairing, distraught? Of course I have; but always, always I've come through the bad tunnels and out into the light again, even unto this latest and best of times.
The Sage can offer only two things I know, now:
There's a dance in the old girl yet; and life just gets better and better as it goes on.

I just want to add that I could not be happier to be sharing this part of your life with you, Mom. It makes me so happy that I get to see you at least once a week!
And thank you for passing that love of life on to your children, to this one anyway!
"Kiss the joy as it flies!"
