“all the world is birthday cake,
so take a piece, but not too much.”

today
i celebrate
as
each of those numerals
represent something
important to me
my number of years on earth
my number of daughters
my number of grand babies
my number of posts
my number of dog years on earth
ah, but
which is which?

You seriously don’t look old enough to have grandbabies–not even kidding or just being nice.
It must be that smile and positive spirit 🙂

I’d sing but it’s too early in the morning here., but Happy Birthday! Paul mentioned something about being six again. No way. I don’t want to go backwards, do you? Remember they’re only numbers and don’t mean anything. Numbers are for accountants and um…government people. Ugh. Never mind. Have a wonderful birthday.
