March 4th Today is Bobby’s birthday. And this got me thinking about birthdays. I love birthdays that aren’t mine. Before I go further on that thought, let me assure you I’m delighted to continue having birthdays despite the rapidly increasing number attached to each.
It’s Monday and it’s raining. I am far behind on my chores and ton’s of things to read, but I decided to take a little time for me. So, upped popped this story. Of course Bob’s birthday was a couple weeks ago, but it doesn’t take a birthday to make me think about my dearest friends, especially you and Bob. Ginni, you have a wonderful way with words. I suspect that it’s a natural thing for people who have the ability to write well, to be constantly peeking in new doorways everyday to find something to stir their interest and then grab a pencil. It’s our good fortune to celebrate yours and Bob’s birthdays, but even more important, to think of you daily with affirmations of wellness and happiness. #NuffsaidbyDean
Happy Birthday Bobby! Have a great day! Birthdays are for cheering all we’ve lived, welcoming another year around the sun, giving and receiving joyful celebrations! 🎈🍰🥳🎉
I agree....the thought of celebrating this honorable, thoughtful, fun, loyal friend brings a smile to my face. Positivity is his name, endurance is his game. We love you.
As some wise person once said "Be happy for another birthday....it is better than the other option."
Today I think of Bob....and how he has been a constant in my life since I was a child and in the lives of my family members. He has witnessed more storms than any one person should have to, but this man with his heart of gold is also one of the strongest men I know.
Happy birthday and much love to Bob. I am jealous of the coconut cake - my favorite. I haven't celebrated my birthday in years but when I lived in the desert and had my best friends nearby I would always through a dance party and get a professional DJ because dancing is my very favorite thing to do for fun. Last year, when I turned 50, I had daydreams about a roller skating disco party but most of my friends said they were to scared of breaking a leg at their age.

As usual, amazingly pithy while deeply emotional... the two do not often go together except at the tip of your pen.
3/3 is my birthday.
I always remember other cultures do other things. To some the birthday is many days after actual birth because they survived to that day.
Someone I read once asked why we don't mourn being born and celebrate dying because this life is so ... well, ucky.
I love your best birthday at 70. So true, direct and kind.
Just like YOU!
Happy birthday Bob
It is so nice to have that loving support you get from Ginni. Many more to come your way.
