Happy birthday Bruce. Mine was Saturday and it was a tough day to get through. Do the best you can to put all of it out of your mind. What are your plans? I hope you make the most of your day.
Another round of thanks to all who took a moment to wish me a happy birthday! It meant a lot. Where is the party thread??????
I did some retail therapy of my own (WAW has been doing a lot that herself, but instead of getting angry I've come to see it as an attempt to hide the deep pain/depression she feels within), and had a great round of drinks with a friend who bucked up my spirits by sincerely saying that he thinks I'm playing this just right. Of course, I don't know how it will end, but I guess all any of us can do is take our best shot at taking care of ourselves and avoiding the many things that can make things worse. I'm working on myself, and she knows that. I'd like to believe I've surprised her even with what little she does know about my changes, but I guess only time will tell.
The world does lift us up when we need it. You're a wonderful group of people. Even amidst the pain, so many people have been so kind. I'm blessed.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I'm doing all right thanks to a lot of kindness late in the day. Tomorrow will be a better day for me, and I hope it will be a good one for you too.
Happy Birthday or Unhappy Birthday. Tomorrow it will all be over with and you can look forward to a better one next year. I have always hated my birthdays! It is a Dreadful time for me and this one will be anxiety filled. Now I know what I will do, I will buy myself someting I really want and play wih it all day. No, not what you are thinking, a camera or an IPOD mixer. I will go to the beach even if I am alone with my kids. I will wallow if I want to or treat it like another day. Then I will wake up a day older like it was nothing.
It is OK if birthdays suck.
