It's My Birthday.....

....on January 20th.

Yesterday was Poe's birthday, and if I could have, I would have left some cognac and roses for him. I would have.
I would have put up an adorable picture of me to celebrate this momentous birthday of mine, but it seems a bit crass at this time. Although I love Poe, and I am happy to have a birthday, nothing comes close to the Man Who Came Before; his vision of freedom for so many, his hope for this country, his peaceful messages, his commitment to so many, his belief that peace and goodness, love and acceptance could be made manifest. And nothing comes close to this man, who I hope, with everyone's help, will lead us into a new world; full of peace, understanding, acceptance and safety...all peoples, all over this planet.
He won't be perfect. He will have clay feet. He inherits a world of such overwhelming problems. We all do.
Let us join hands, all of us throughout the world to make a better place for our children, for all people of all religions and faiths. It will take a world.
And when it comes to everyone's turn; may each be able to say, "I am glad to celebrate my birthday. I give thanks for just being here in this precious place."

Snap Up Your Snorkle...Find Your Fins...Take Up Your Towel.....and

.... have a wonderful time with some of God's greatest creations.

We did have a wonderful time. I did take these pictures and I have to say that for someone who has no clue I did a.o.k. The darkness and the curves of the glass were a challenge to say the least. We saw sea otters and sea lions...did not come out too well in the photos. It was a great day.
I will be off (what's new) from Sunday through Wednesday, but I will be checking on everyone when I have time. This is a Sunday Stroll a day earlier and definitely not on dry land.

24,090 Sunrises and Sunsets...

January 20th is my birthday.
Approximately: 24,090 sunrises and sunsets, 72,270 meals, 23,265 tooth brushings on my own, unnumbered views, uncountable vistas in the rear view mirror that is my life.
Amazement beyond the beyond that I could be and am here.
Gratefulness and thanks for all things given to me. They are beyond anything that anyone could hope and pray for.
Sadness, tears, anger, questions, loss and and true pain, yes.
Joy, enchantment, delight, laughter and goodness, YES.
THANKS, yes.

I'll never be 66 again. On to being that and in my 67th year.
