Tuesdays Treasures…YOU

Yesterday was a milestone birthday for me. Of course at the age I am, some might say that every birthday is a milestone.

While I am always counting my blessings, yesterday was a gentle reminder that my cup runneth over!!!

The friends I have IRL (In Real Life) are gifts given to me throughout the years.

…And then there are friendships I’ve made at ActiveRain. It’s hard when you’re speaking to a friend (IRL) about your friend in Montana who relocated all the way from New York to Kalispell, Montana. Or your friend in Utah who bought a silo that was sitting on the side of the road and turned it into a stage/bar for her guests. Or your friend in PA who walked the Camino a few years ago!

“Well, no, I’ve never met them but yes, they’re friends!”

Thank you my ActiveRain friends. Thank you for helping me celebrate my birthday.

Or as Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia would say…

Thank you for being my friend.

There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met.
William Butler Yeats

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Helen Keller

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Good morning Kathy. Happy belated birthday. I consider myself fortunate to have personally met so many Rain members, past and present over the years. And, have many Rainer friends I have never met although I have spoken with some over the phone. Novel use of a cell phone, right? Enjoy your day.

Hi Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty Early Happy Birthday wishes to your son. I remember my 50th birthday. I was somewhat down about it, but then read Joan Rivers's book on aging. Lifted me up.

Will Hamm guess what, I was going to make a birthday cake (because I like a home made one) but Larry and I decided to wait until the family comes over. Otherwise we'd eat the whole cake.

Kathy Streib I suspect it was a Zero birthday? Well happy belated birthday to you... and needless to say I can relate... when all the people I met politicians, military people, business leaders and I read about them passing. I know I am getting up there in age... I still remember Diane's father reading the Boston Globe and looking at the obituary pages... he called them the Irish sweepstakes....seriously Happy Birthday again Endre
