life celebration

birthdays come and go in my family. There is no great celebration. Hugs aren't given. There are no candles. There is no special e-mails. I have lived 51 glorious hard years I take comfort in that. I survived and will continue to do so. I will move forward using my mind. My emotions may be a little confused at times. My body may not work as well as possible. But I have special places for all of you in my heart. So therefore I will celebrate my life not just one birthday at a time.
