Tomorrow is my birthday. I was going to try to write something profound about it but I think it's all been said. I love this little poem called "A Happy Birthday" so I thought I'd share it. I know I will have a happy birthday because I will celebrate with the people I love.by Ted Kooser
This evening, I sat by an open window
and read until the light was gone
and the book was no more
than a part of the darkness.
I could easily have switched on a lamp,
but I wanted to ride this day down into night,
to sit alone and smooth the unreadable page
with the pale gray ghost of my hand.

Happy Birthday, Diane. I love Ted Kooser. Thanks for sharing one of his poems.
Happy, happy birthday! It's Saturday morning here, already, but still Friday night where you are, right? So, technically, I'm still on time. (grin) Be blessed.
Happy birthday Diane!
Oh, Diane - sorry I missed it! I hope it was a fine day and you spent it well and joyfully.
