I don't do too much for my birthday. I know the importance that individuals put on it and make it a month long thing. But me , I don't mention it to no one. It's just a day. Did I lose the joy of the acknowledgement it goes with it? I did take off from work and went to a museum of writers. Can we give away Birthdays? How much are they worth? Is it legal? Just questions and ideas of what I might write next. Thanks for the book list. Interesting books. Every year you learn something on your birthday. Family is there for you. And of course, they push some buttons. For me, if you don't fight with your brothers , your not brothers(family). November was going good but Death came early for a friend. So I'm going through it. It sucks. Next week, is the funeral. My last goodbye.

I'll keep the memories alive. Every birthday I will carry it for him.

Happy birthday, I'm glad you enjoyed your day. Sometimes it good to put down the pen, laptop, or the typewriter. We need to leave our quarters and be out in the world.As writers, we need this form to express ourselves. Thanks for read. Have a great day.
