  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! – 8/10/11

     

    I am 48 years old. My life has been blessed and charmed. I am not rich or poor. I have a regal wife and a few real friends.

    I was blessed to be born into a loyal and loving family. I enjoy smart and faithful peers. My mom is alive and well and still my very best friend. I thank God daily for every blessing I know.

    Happiness is not defined by getting what we want. It is the unique reality of wanting what we have.

    We all need to be less greedy and more grateful.

    I thank God most for the wisdom that aging gracefully brings.
