My 73rd Birthday

Was wonderful.  It was spent with the people I love most and those who couldn't make it telephoned and/or facebooked me.  At the end of the day I was priviledged to attend a first A.A. Birthday for a lady who has become very special  to me.  I am her A.A. sponser and in that year I have come to love her.  She helped to make my birthday even more special.

I got up on the morning of November 7th, and was kissed by someone who loved me, I walked down the stairs using my own legs, poured a cup of coffee that was made for me by my baby girl, as it is every morning, and like every other morning I whispered a thank you to her.  I went for lunch with a loved one, then came home, to the warm, inviting home where I am so lucky to live.  I took telephone calls from family and friends who couldn't be there while sitting in my so comfortable armchair.  Then had a turkey dinner prepared my baby girl, who manages to look after me with so much love that it doesn't even feel she is doing it.  After dinner I went to the A.A Birthday and saw all kinds of other friends.  I recieved gifts and I am grateful for them; but mostly I am grateful for the loving friends and family that I shared the day with.  It might get better than that...but I have no idea how.
