Good morning my fine friends!
Alas, Forty Five years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable people. "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve".
Over the last week, many of you have written on my Face Book wall recounting memories that have long since faded from my view...ahh so good to reflect....ahh so hard at times to remember and to have said goodbye to so many friends...such purpose and meaning...
Birthdays are a mixed bag...I think.......you need them to stay alive, but each one checks off mercilessly the time allotted to each soul....Oh Lord teach us to count our days in order to make our days count....seems a little trite as I reflect over the last 4 plus decades of walking this world....
It is odd, that today all of these memories, bring me sadness..and to be honest, none were sad memories...so as I muse out loud...I am not sure why....
Thank you to all of you....it certainly will be a Birthday I will never forget, another year older as I blow out candles in the desert
