the best one of the best ones

1. I am thankful for long weekends spent with Somebody, friends, East Coast-ness, good food, and much relaxation.
2. I am thankful that Somebody was willing to take me to any restaurant I wanted for my birthday dinner.
3. I am thankful that the yummy smell of a birthday cake was waiting for me when I got home from work today. (Thanks, Mom!)

We are thankful for blessings we cannot measure, for gifts we cannot appraise, "for books, music, art, and for the great inventions which make these blessings available[;] … for the laughter of little children[;] … for the … means for relieving human suffering … and increasing … the enjoyment of life[;] … for everything good and uplifting."
"Three Centuries of Thanksgiving," Etude Music Magazine, Nov. 1945

Happy Birthday! I picked up the phone to call you yesterday morning and thought to myself that I should wait until the children got home and we could make a big group call. Then the next thing I know it is 9:15 pm which means you would be in bed. I thought I could make it up in an email before I went to bed but then I spaced out that also. So . . .
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
We actualy had been counting down your birthday.
I hope it was a good one!
