Today is my birthday. I share this special day with President Abraham Lincoln, a great man. In my younger days I went to Catholic school, and we had off every year on my birthday. There was no 'President's Day', we always just celebrated both Washington's and Lincoln's birthday on the day they were born. Since I was born two days away from Valentine's Day, my mom always bought me these buttery big heart cookies with pink icing to bring in and give out to the kids as a birthday treat on February 13th. We also traditionally had tons of snow each year to mark the day of my birth, so there was lots of outdoor fun on that day off. This year my birthday is quiet, tonight we will go into the city to have dinner with Rachele and Kristin. Of course I already spent time with Jamey, and I did get to see Charles last night at his game. He played amazing, guess that may have been an early present for me, and I loved it. We waited for him after the game just so I could give him a hug or two or three. My parents dropped by after school with my traditional heart cake - (remember, Valentine's day?). My sisters and friends all took the time out to call me with birthday wishes. Really nice. It is a nice content birthday. Now for that prayer:
Dear Lord: Please bless me today and all through the year. Please keep me healthy, safe and strong. Please keep me under your wing as you've done all my blessed life. And thank you for always being there for me. Amen
