Today, March 16, 2006 is my 63rd birthday. I knew I wanted to write something for today, but wasn't sure what it would be until I found this picture and put it together with this particular song. I first heard this song in the movie, Witness. I always associated it with a certain playful romantic mood. But, when I listened to the words and put it with this picture, the meaning of something I strongly believe in snuck up on me. We all need and desire to be loved for who we are and not what we know or what we have done. How often we think we need to somehow earn love. At my party today, I want to say I hope we all know that we are loved by somebody simply because we were born. Love is not about accomplishment or achievement. It is about no matter how old or accomplished we become, we are all still the sweet, pure, innocent babies our parents held in their arms and counted our fingers and toes and laid for hours just looking at us, amazed at our beauty and perfection. We are still that sweet pure child who simply wants to be loved for ourselves.Wednesday, March 15, 2006
It's My Party And I'll Say What I Want To

Happy Birthday, Mom.
Over Christmas you told me, "Everyone Deserves To Have Someone Be Crazy About Them." I think you're a lucky lady because many people are crazy about you.
thanks joe......I woke up to our second snowstorm of the week..but it is fitting because from what I hear.. on the day I was born there was a blizzard....I always wonder if it will snow on my birthday ....

Happy birthday Judy! I have so many fond memories of spending time with your family. You always made me feel so welcome. I feel fortunate to have had you as one of the adults who influenced me growing up. As you know, I have a tendency to be kind of serious, but being with your family, I definitely had to learn how to laugh -- especially at myself. The basic acceptance I always sensed from you made me feel safe enough to do that. And by the way, thanks for raising a daughter with so many of the same qualities to offer her friends ;-)
Enjoy your celebration! I hope you have a fabulous birthday.
