Somehow I survived the first 31 years of my eldest sons life and so I suppose I can do another 31. By then I'll be 84 and won't care anyway. He is actually catching up to me in age anyway. When he was 10 I was 3 times as old as him. When he was 20 I was only twice as old, and by the time he's forty it will be down to 1 1/2 times. Eventually hae has to pass me!!
He also shares a birthday with a rather famous person as somehow he managed to be born on the same day as his Aunt Cory. So Happy Birthday to you too old girl! By the way, in 31 years you will still be 4 years older than me!!
Michael sent me this neat story which I really like and would care to share with you.
This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up: "Hey you, can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole, and moves on.Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up: "Father, I'm down in this hole. Can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on.Then a friend walks by. "Hey Joe, it's me. can you help me out?" And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before, and I know the way out."
Aint it the truth? The person most qualifed to help you out of a tough situation is someone who both cares and who's lived your pain. Lots of professionals care but they don't really know what it's like to be a drug addict, or severely depressed or suffering from a trauma of some kind. So if you've ever found your way out of a hole go share your wisdom with someone who needs it.
