Di, it's strange that the BWS calendar didn't catch your birthday - I check every day to see who's having a birthday here, but for some reason, the BWS calendar didn't show any names for today.

I understand your sadness and disappointment! I'm one of those who watches the mailbox and would be heartbroken if no cards showed up...that's one of the related agonies of losing family members - my Mom and brother never ever missed a birthday - cards, gifts and phone calls (several throughout the day). Those things don't happen anymore and it DOES HURT!

I'm so sorry your birthday has been so rotten - SO FAR - it ain't over yet, baby! It's NEVER TOO LATE to party.

So let me be the first here to wish you a much better rest-of-the-birthday-week (at our age, we're allowed to celebrate for a week!) You ARE worth celebrating!

Happy 51st birthday, Di. Sending you hugs and birthday blessings on the breeze.
