They Say It's Your Birthday

They Say It’s Your Birthday

Well it’s my birthday too! Not too often do I get surprised on my birthday but today I did when friends like Ferne and Howard invited me for brunch this lazy Saturday morning. These two act in loving kindness all the time at least from what I can see and the patience and understanding they share with each other is a lesson I take to my bosom because I often forget that kindness includes myself not just being kind to others. Howard and Ferne treat themselves well and that’s why it follows suit they find it second nature to treat people like me with the same regard. I dig these two a lot! 

They say it’s your birthday. Well I got one of my gifts one day early this year.  

Taking Stock

Taking stock tells me I am still sober after 24 years, pretty fit, feel like my vocation is on the right track and I have got back to church each Saturday. And about once a month at St. Patrick’s I am up at the marble stepped podium reading a passage from the Prophet Isaiah. There’s a lot of wreckage of what is my life but all I can do is try to make amends live one day at a time and try to do the next right thing. 62.9 is not so bad after all and for the first time in my life I have people that are my friends and most important someone that loves me.
