Thanks, to the internet, even if you don't have any friends, you can have your birthday remembered!
This morning, I received birthday wishes from:
The Long Hair Community (don't ask)
Digital Scrapbook Place
RetouchPro
Sephora
several retail stores
AND--
*
kayceeus (who is the type of person who DOES remember everyone's birthday--and sends CARDS, too--showing the rest of us up!
)
and an old co-worker I haven't seen in forever, but always warms my heart each year, by sending me a birthday note. (He uses online services, to remind him of everyone's birthdays, I'm pretty sure!
)
Yes indeed--the internet can make ANYONE feel popular and loved!
And since I'm on the subject--let me just wish each and every one of my readers and watchers a joyous and happy day today. Since it's my birthday--spare me a thought--and do something that I'd do. Read something heartwarming--no violence, swearing, or mean people allowed in it. Hug a tree. Buy yourself some flowers from a favorite florist. Eat some woodsorrel. Walk around with a silly smile on your face, even if you live somewhere like Boston, where smiling is not encouraged. Take a moment to count your blessings--starting with the air you breathe and the sky above, all the way down to the fact that you have shoes to wear, and feet to put 'em on. Be grateful you live somewhere where you learned to read--so that however narrow your physical world might be, your inner world has no horizons. Talk to a dog, and scratch their belly until their hind legs wave around in the air. Say something nice to a stranger--instead of just *thinking* they have nice hair, tell them. Watch a baby for 5 minutes, paying special attention to their darling little fingers and fat cheeks. Get lost in the color green. Give yourself a big hug, and love the wonderfulness that is you. Make some art--or appreciate some art.
Trust me--whatever you do, will be its own reward.
I love you guys! Thanks for the last wonderful year--and here's looking forward to a new one!

Oddly enough, we share a great many of the same interests.
...Aside from that whole 'no swearing' thing though
Though it ought to be stated that my love of colorful language does not denote a lack of anything intelligent or worthwhile to say or that I lack original opinions.
... Sometimes I just like to swear like a sailor
Love me anyway?

Just because perfection is impossible, doesn’t mean I've given up attempting to achieve it.

I thought I was drowning, so I raised my arms and cried out to a God I didn’t believe in. And my heart, foolish heart, opened like a great white sail. And the God I didn’t believe in was the sea. And the God I didn’t believe in was the wind.
