Happy Glorious Birthday to me! soon. . . .

Back in the Philippines it will be my birthday in a few hours. I look forward to friends and family back there calling to extend their blessed joy filled greetings.

It's already started with virtual cake, candles, and gifts from my core group of siStars. What a joy to be surrounded by such an eager beaver squad of cheerleaders. Truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Last year I missed posting about my birthday. In my frustration over petty stuff and not spending it together with beloved Mahala I may have been sore and pouty. Who knows? It was another lifetime ago.
