Another trip around the sun....and this year my 76th fell on Thanksgiving. I always "tease" that many in the Country are celebrating my birthday every few years. Not. Our delicious meal was out at Megan and Mike's house. Sharing the holiday with them, the two boys and three dogs was a lovely way to spend the day.
And living in our apartment meant that neighbors dropped off cards and notes to add to the ones sent by good friends and family around the USA. It was fun to be remembered again this year.
The other part of my day was seeing how many Facebook Friends posted good wishes. And, even though Facebook has a lot of things to "dislike", seeing all these specific entries made me smile over and over. Maybe I use Facebook a little differently than some others because we've moved so often leaving good friends behind. For me it's a little connection.
Seeing posts from Delaware, New Hampshire, Florida, Indiana, Japan, Maryland, Nevada and all my Wisconsin friends, to name a few, meant a lot to me. Corny maybe but still, for me, very much appreciated. A special thank you to all of my Facebook Friends for taking a minute to send me a message, and often include a fun picture or gif.....I did enjoy and read each and every greeting. They "helped" with the 76 part of the day!
