"I'm Feeling The Love!"
November 22, 2010, 3:50 p.m.

Today is the 22nd of November and it�s my Birthday today.� Happy Birthday to me!� Actually, it�s funny how my feelings about my birthday change.��When I was a child, I wanted nothing more than to blow out my candles and open presents. �When I was younger, I wanted to party.� Today, I just let it be another day.� Nothing special (it's apparently that's what many folks do when they get older). �However I did receive lots of love from my Facebook friends and cards from family members.� It brings me so much joy to feel the love.� I'm a sucker for it I suppose. � This morning when I woke up I received a birthday card from my mother who lives with me.� Inside the card she wrote a note just like the following: �

Now isn�t that a lovely Birthday sentiment? � Except I don't want my Mom to feel awful.� She feels awful because after her stroke, she can't get to the store and buy me a gift.� But I don't need a gift.� I need her. �So I need her to stop feeling awful. I love her too.
