Will's Lighting Another One

Post by Will O'B »

At 6:10 p.m. (central time) this evening I will be lighting one more candle on my birthday cake. I don't know if I'll be able to blow them out (cause of what that implies). Those of you who don't know the significance of this event, I was told last summer that I probably wouldn't be lighting any more birthday candles. That's what makes this birthday a big one. This evening I'll be 53 years old. While I'm not out of the woods, it feels darn good to be able to say that I've made it this far. :wink:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

I was just thinking about you, as well. I'm glad to hear you're hanging in.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Thanks for making me appreciate what a blessing it is to celebrate
