Today is my birthday. I am 71. Everyone seems to have given up chocolate and sundry other treats for Lent. So I don't expect to see treats filling my mailbox today. I will have a day of profound anonymity and gratitude for all that I do have. But maybe a wee bit of self-pity for lack of chocolate. Most of my pious friends are working on perfection. I am still trying to stay out of hell.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Fr. Terry! Since the Irish put Lent on hold for St. Patrick's Day, don't you think you can put in on hold for your birthday? May you find a wee bit of chocolate today.
ReplyDeleteHope your 71 birthday was happy and celebrated with a wee bit of chocolate! It's a day for giving you gifts. But may you also think of the gifts you give to every life you touch everyday. Carol
