Today is my birthday.
I turned 57 on a day when millions are homeless and thousands have drowned. There have been better birthdays.

My mother still sends me a birthday card with a twenty dollar bill in it. That twenty is going to hurricane relief. And if my husband thinks we are going out to eat, that money can go to hurricane relief, too.

3. Happy Birthday murielm99. Today is my 25th wedding anniversary.
I decided to celebrate it by giving $50.00 to the Red Cross for hurricane relief.

6. Happy birthday!
And please try not to feel too bad. My oldest sister's birthday is on Sept. 11 so her birthday a few years ago was pretty sad too. Hope you have many more healthy years. I think its so sweet of your mom to still send you money like that.

10. Happy Birthday
Don't dispair that you'd live while others will not.

Your heart is kind enough to take notice of this sad irony.

That's a lot more than we can say of a lot of people
