I think today is the birthday of Carol Ann Kennedy, who has another last name now. I remember some birthdays besides my family. I remember my college roommates birthday, and a friend I met in the seventh grade, and one of my Paulist associates when I was in Knoxville. There are a few others too and they all had some significance in my life I guess, at a certain time. I learned from them. I am what I am today in part because of people in my life. Now, hardly anyone remembers my birthday. My insignificance will keep me humble. Humility is a good thing. So don’t get upset if no one remembers your birthday. Spiders have to live someplace making their cobwebs. Why not your mailbox?

I am one who can still confuse birthdays at times,a humbling process. However, March 28th (I believe) is a time to celebrate all of the gifts I have learned from you sharing your heart in this beloved blog. Thank you!
