For many years, I was very
uncomfortable celebrating my birthday.
I awoke that 9-11 froze in
front of the television. All that horror.
I took personally. I still have trouble watching the films of
that morning, but the shock has softened over the years.
Today I am celebrating by
going to a shop meeting, then later in the day to a Business meeting. We both had forgotten those things and had
scheduled a movie. I’ll do the movie
next week and celebrate two weeks in a row.
Selfishly of course as one is only 75 once.
Happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! So sorry the special day has been marred the last 15 years. 😕
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for your 75th. Celebrate and enjoy. I believe you are the first person I've encountered with this date as their birthday.
ReplyDeleteStill looking at the green side of the sod! Yay! Hope it's a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteYou art work does have such style and you will ignore this because I have very little artistic knowledge and from my photos you can see I am very unsophisticated in my photographic style...beauty and romance and no nuance. Three quarters of a century is wonderful when I see that gleam in your eyes.
ReplyDeleteWell, congratulations. 75 is really good, and you're still living strong.
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday has been a good one... even with the horrible coincidence. You are a very special friend to me. Hugs and love, T
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mage! My grandgirl turned 17 today too. Glad you both are here for the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteHugs and thanks for joining my group!
ReplyDeleteI love this painting. Do what some of us do, have a birthday month. David has two more celebrations this week. Connie and bill are bringing him a chip on Saturday. Number 37 he thinks.
ReplyDelete9-11 is also the day my grandfather passed away. I wish the date could have been happier for you. However, Happy Birthday, Mage!!! From now on, I can think of 9-11 and also think of you to make me smile and feel good.
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Birthday.
