Geeze...I'm not 15 any more (can't actually recall if I ever was). Do you all actually get presents on your birthdays? OK, so I got an excellent carrot cake at work. Which is a tradition that I began 7 years ago for everyone. I DID get a new scarf that I really wanted last year from my lovely wife and daughter. THAT was a sincere surprise. I got calls and emails all day long at work. For the life of me I have no idea how folks know (or care) that it's my birthday.
Best of all were the cards that my wife and daughter brought me at breakfast. Those made me whimper like a child. THAT alone made me feel special.
But I must admit, it's always nice to see a thread of well wishers. Thanks for taking the time to mention it. It's noticed and appreciated.
