Today is my birthday. I got an email from an old, an older friend, although not much older, that said, "Welcome to the "Double Nickel Tour." So that tells you the number.Trust me, I am not complaining. Recently there have been several people I know who will be celebrating no more birthdays. So for now, I'll take as many as I can get.
On my Facebook page it says today is my birthday. Very early this morning I started getting emails from Facebook telling me friends and family from near and far were wishing me a Happy Birthday. There were quite a few. As the day goes on, there are more and more.
Facebook makes sending birthday wishes very simple, even reminds you whose birthday it is if they have it in their profile. I am in no way minimizing these birthday wishes. It's really nice that so many people took a couple minutes out their days to say Happy Birthday. As each one arrives I take a minute and think about who sent it.
The message that really got to me, choked me up a little, was this from Janice, "Happy Birthday Sandy! Beautiful person and great friend! Have a wonderful day!" In those few words, she just made my day in a way she probably didn't expect.
Thanks, Janice. Thank you everyone else who thought of me today.

I hope you enjoying your birthday Sandy. I was once the person everyone knew would send a card, and then I started slacking, and now I'm doing good to get a fb message or email out to everyone.
I love getting mail, so I assume most people like receiving it also.
I hope your mailboxes of all kinds were filled with happy wishes for this and many more birthdays!!
I also use to mail or leave birthday cards but now do most of my well wishing on FB. It is a lot less effort but no less sincere. We need a night out on the town. Have fun tonight and give that gorgeous, wonderful man of yours a hug from me. He is a lucky man and he knows it.
Sandy, Happy Birthday to you! Hope your have a perfect day.
Happy Birthday Bloggy Friend. Hope it has been and continues to be a great day. :)
Happy Birthday! Hope you made into Providence for dinner.
Happy Birthday! What a sweet message to your friend.
I actually like the Facebook birthday messages. They allow me to send messages to people I might otherwise not, and visa versa. Yes, they may not be very personal, but them still taking the time to write it (even 10 seconds) is nice.
I hope you have had a Dionysian birthday!
Happy Birthday, I have never heard of double nickel before, but I guess that means we are the same YOUNG age!
It is meditative to come here. Thanks for the serenity and tribute to Nature and all that it encompasses. I find the way you create your posts to be one of my favorite moments of my day or week.
Belated birthday greetings -- I hope it was happy.
I've missed such a lot -- thanks for the 879 tip and I'm glad you have YOUR chair! Your living room reno looks absolutely beautiful -- I'm in serious need of a new rug and new paint. I've been leaning toward a color similar to yours -- looks great with the white trim!
I missed you for a long while when you stopped blogging for a bit -- glad you stopped by; it's been fun catching up!
