Today was my birthday.
I am now 65, an official senior citizen.
I had a good birthday. My husband gave me a lovely present. My oldest daughter came to visit, and we had a cookout. My son called me, too, and my brother.
My youngest daughter did not call, but she is on her way to Toronto, to see her husband. They cannot live together yet, until all the legal resident alien paperwork is taken care of.
I have a great family.
In the coming year, I would like to do more for others. I am not sure how to accomplish that. I do not care to do any more for my community, because I have been abused or misunderstood every time I have tried that. I live in a rather nasty small town. I am sure there are other ways to contribute. I will figure this out.

you all just move too fast for my aching joints to keep up now.
