Had The Best Birthday

     I had a wonderful birthday. Just recently an ill friend told that she felt so loved because she had so many visitors that day. I was feeling the same thing on my birthday. Then I came home to find the most wonderful birthday card from a dear old friend. We have known each other more years than I care to remember.

When I got to the hotel I was met with lots of smiles; the desk folks knew it was my birthday. I was even allowed in my room a little after 1p :-) and  check in time is 4p, now I usually get to go up a little early, but that's a bit much. But, as I told a friend, I do not look gift horses in the mouth. I did not ask why, I just said thank you and headed upstairs. When I opened the door the first thing I saw a large bouquet of flowers with a balloon tied to it. Just lovely. I went downstairs to get a soda and saw that the bar (hhmm hhmm, I mean restaurant) was open and figured a pina colada is much better than a Pepsi. A friend was already there, we talked a couple of hours before I went back upstairs to dress for dinner. It was a good day. Actually, my whole week was nice. My pals understand that I celebrate my BD for a week, I count my birthday as my personal new year. I really think more people should do that.
