Celebrate!

It's not that I don't appreciate

the cards, the dinners, the presents

the cake...

(instead of cows)

It's just that I think

we should celebrate our life

on our birth date.

Just imagine what was going on that day the year you were born.

And today,

quietly and peacefully

while walking the dog

watching the redhead hawks soar

and tending to the garden

I give thanks to all of YOU

that have brought me this far

...those still among me...

...and those that have gone on...

thank you.
