I want to thank you so much for taking the time out of your lives to post me a birthday greeting. It is really appreciated and it means a lot.
I don't do any real celebrating.....the highlight on my day was when I had one of my semi regular (though not often enough) morning walks with a wonderful old man who lives in my neighborhood. If I am outside or back from a bike ride and I see him, I usually try to walk with him the quarter mile distance to a shopping center nearby, and along our walk he gives me sage advice, and reminds me what grace and humility really look like. He takes with him a "borrowed" market shopping cart, and he spends a good portion of his day foraging for bottles and cans to be recycled in the afternoon. He is coy about his exact age, but I estimate him to be in his mid-eighties, with a mind as sharp as a razor on most days. He smokes like a locomotive, and has some manner of respiratory ailment. I know...I've already advised him to quit ...he says he will beat me in any foot race on my best day......

Birthdays are bittersweet occasions....., along with the growing pains comes the probability that this wonderful old man may not be in my life for too many more birthdays....
anyway....
