Birthday, Bah, humbug!

Okay, another birthday and I muddled through. The thing about birthdays is no matter how old you get, it's fun to blow out candles, which I didn't do this year. Sure, I told friends and family it was just another day, another reminder that I'm a year older, but honestly!

Many, who remembered my birthday last year with a card, a night out, a phone call, or some cash, didn't this year. Bah, humbug! Hey, did you ever think I might not be gracing your lives that much longer? Don't you want to relish each and every moment I have left? Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

I did get cards, and friends treated me to lunch. It seems, all is not lost in the tradition of honoring someone on their birthday. To these dear folks, I say thank you, thank you, thank you. Three thank you's covers it nicely.
But to the grinches, dust off that card, buy a stamp, and mark your calendar, because I'll be here waiting, with bells on, so don't foget. I'll even wear one of those upside down cones on my head if that's what it takes to get your attention. In the meanwhile, I wish you all a happy birthday, though I've forgotten the exact date.
