Yesterday, was my birthday; I turned 72 years old.
I have come to realize and accept that every succeeding birthday is more special and more precious than the previous one. Its not just me who feel that way.

Its interesting to observe how friends and loved ones handle birthdays of those, who, like me, are in the final chapters of their lives. Whether they realize it or not, they too add urgency to the occasion. They too understand that time is precious, even if they do not wish to admit it or say so. We all celebrate with a knowing smile.
Inevitably, every birthday invites reflection. Mine was no different.
We sometimes share our trials and tribulations, hurts and pains but hardly ever the many beautiful things or good things that have occurred or continue to occur in our lives. Despite my own pains, my regrets, my sorrows, there are so many wonderful things for which I give thanks and praise. Thanks to you, I have had an extraordinary and blessed life.
And good things continue to happen!
Yesterday, and even the day before, many good things happened. I received some kind, generous, soothing and even poetic birthday greetings, all in recognition and celebration of my birthday. I don't know if I deserved all of it. What I can tell you is that your greetings, whether public or private, made the occasion truly memorable, special and beautiful. I could not ask for more.
Thank you one and all!!!!!
