Somehow I lost a couple of days.
I last wrote to you on Saturday and now here we are and it's Tuesday.
Where did those 2 days go?
That's a damn good question!
They were partially consumed by a flurry of activities generated by my birthday.
Yes , yesterday was my birthday.
I turned 64 (okay stop singing the Beatles song!)
Sunday disappeared between driving the bus, a long overdue lunch date with an old friend and then dinner with my family. I left for the gym at 6:30 in the morning and did not get back home until after 8:30 at night.
Yesterday,on my birthday, I again left the house early in the morning and did not get back to my desk until well after 7 p.m.
Upon opening my emails, I found a number, a big number, of birthday greetings waiting for me.
It was wonderful!
The problem that this created for me is that a number of years ago , I decided that if someone reached out to me on my birthday ,it only seemed right to respond individually rather than in a Facebook post that says "thanks everyone for the birthday wishes".
As I read each "Happy Birthday" message, I responded to it.
I spent over 3 1/2 hours last night doing that.
I finally finished after putting in another hour this morning doing the same thing.
What a blessing!
I could not have had a better birthday than that!
