Thank You

Thank you all for the birthday wishes you sent my way yesterday. I am humbled by your kind and encouraging words. It really means the world to me. For reasons that I am not going to get into today, my birthday has been a sad time for a number of years. I try not to let it get to me, but you combine the sadness over a tragedy in my past with thought of my life so far, and I can get a little morbid. Your comments yesterday helped me get past that and have a good birthday. I went out for breakfast at a local diner, had a sandwich that I love for lunch, and made meatballs from scratch and a marinara sauce and spaghetti for dinner last night. It was a good day filled with your inspiring words, good food, comfort from Isabella, and maybe a nap or two.

I just want to say a big heartfelt thank you for making my day better.

    Hey Joe,
    I’ve checked in with your blog for awhile now, and I just wanted to suggest something to you: I know you’re Christian from past posts, but I’d like to give you a Buddhist approach to try - whatever comes your way, good or bad, say to yourself « this is your practice « 
    this experience is meant for you, for your benefit, for you to learn and progress with your place on this planet. The practice of Buddhism can be combined with Christianity.
    Have an excellent year !
