Birthday

 Today is my birthday.  I have had a lot of them, but never tire of this date.  My present to myself is to focus on the big, good stuff that I have and not on the small bad stuff.  This is sanity for me.  To reverse it would be to go down a darker path.  The good stuff for which I am grateful is that I am alive, and still have friends who put up with me.  I don’t having a craving for something unhealthy.  I have the strength and health to be of service to others, such as these blogs read by a couple of people.  The bad stuff is small if I can remain sane and balanced.  If little things get in the way of the good big things, then I know I am insane.  So I work at this balance on a daily basis.  Oh, and I look at the weather reports in Colorado.  I live in a temperate climate here in San Francisco.  So I cannot complain about “the weather.”
