Today is my birthday. Two months ago I was looking forward to a party. My Mom always made a big deal of birthdays when I was growing up. I got a chocolate cake fresh from the bakery, and presents. As an adult I became disappointed when people ignored my birthday, no party, no cards, nothing. Then I realized that a lot of people grew up with birthdays being no big deal. Sad. So I became my own agent for advertising my birthday which is obnoxious to some so I try to do it only with people who I think have a birthday celebrating capacity. Then comes Covid 19. Cannot get around that. So I guess I will be socially isolating today with some hope that chocolate cake will show up at my front door, socially isolated of course. Maybe no candles to blow out but no one is getting everything they want these days, but we do try to get what we need. I will take love even if it must be 12 feet away or socially isolated. Anyway, Happy Birthday to me!
