It's my birthday. I am 48 today. Last year on my birthday I was in New York with my family celebrating my nephew's Bar Mitzvah. This year my daughter had a friend's Bat Mitzvah on Long Island on the 28th so I decided that this year, too, I will spend my birthday amidst friends and family in New York. Well, they're not so much celebrating my birthday as enabling me to celebrate mine with people who I love and who love me. You know, the way a birthday should be spent.
I just hope there won't be a lot of traffic on the drive back to Virginia. If there is, I can just put it down to symbolism. That I am meant to stay embraced by those who care rather than thrust into a situation that just brings me down and makes me feel alone. BACK TO BIRTHDAY THOUGHTS.
To all those who share a birthday with me, especially my college friend Cindy Kane--wherever you may be, may your candle wish come true.
Happy Birthday!
Enjoy your time in New York - surrounded by love - the best way to celebrate!

"They Say it's Your Birthday!" Happy Birthday to you!"
"They Say it's Your Birthday!" "It's My Birthday Too! . . . Just Not For 10 Days Yet!!!" LOL
Hoping that all you wishes for this next year of life come true.
