HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME


This is actually a bit early, my birthday is on Thursday. If it matters (and it does, IT DOES!) I will be 57 years old. Not a very interesting number. It sort of looks like a prime until you realise it can be divided by 3. (Not to worry. In a couple years, I'll be 59 and that is prime. ) Fifty-seven is it's 3 X 19.. So I guess, I'm at the end of the teen years, 3 times over. This has nothing really to do with anything.
What it is really about is that I got my first birthday card; it's from my li'l sis, Lindsey. I share it now with you.



Except - mt dear friend and li'l sis, Lindsay, just sent me a card early. So I will share it with you.

  2. Man-In-Painting ji,

    Your poetry is wonderful. You have taught the secret of happiness in so few words.

    Are you Jain? I ask only because your poetry reminds me of my best friend of 50 years, Lilly, who was Jain.

    Thank you for your visit. Whoever you are, I am honoured you like my little blog.

    Mai

  11. Dear PP Ji,

    Actually, I was born at this time because Mum and Daddums were, you know, back in August of 1951.

    Should I not be around - as will eventually happen - I leave it to my friends and comrades to keep our story out there with the truth. (You know, "the truth is out there.")

    Thank you for your good wishes, positive vibes and especially for your love. All are cherished.

  12. Hi, Mai!
    I'm just now reading this. I've been so busy with school and Driver's ED, it's hard to find time for anything. I'm overjoyed that you posted the card on here. I was ecstatic when I saw it. I'm glad you liked it and had a nice birthday. Like I said, you deserved it. :)

  14. Lin Ji - Sorry I misspelled your name. I haven't done that for years. Slap me on my wrist!

    Birthday was nice. And I am overjoyed that you are overjoyed. An overjoyed Lin is a joy to contemplate.

    BBBJ - OHHHHHHH! definitely worth looking at. Thanks for the tip. BTW, I left a comment meself, it could have been aimed directly at you:

    Ladies, look and weep.

    He's Sikh. He belongs to us! And we're not about to give him up!

  15. It's okay. Not worthy of any slap, even on the wrist. =] Being overjoyed is somewhat a thrill. Plus, I use most of my energy during the day now, so I can sleep a lot longer than I used to.
    Have a good day.

  16. Lin - OK, I have unslapped my wrist. Ah, there!

    I am very, very, very happy that your insomnia has eased. I know you have suffered for years. A good night's sleep can make a world of difference.

    Love always and chardi kala!
