BDAY Fun & Shameless Plug- Johnny Hardware

Yesterday was my 28th Birthday for the 5th, 6th, or 8th time (Who’s Counting) and it was a wonderfully tranquil day that touched my heart.  The day involved loving conversations from long distance close friends, a meaty uplifting chat with my Pops and my Brother, a delightful long dinner with my Mom and BF, and MUCHO LOVE from all of my CLOSEST Facebook Friends!   Anyone who bemoans the empty distractions of Facebook are QUICK to change their tune when their Birthday rolls around.  Your timeline on YOUR special Day of Birth becomes filled with well wishes from your real friends, acquaintances, and people who you have no clue existed but who befriended you from far flung areas because of a particularly racy, sexy picture you may have posted at one time or another.  This is not the time to parse the genuineness of the well wishers.  Instead, I accept all well wishers at face value and allow my ego to get a delightful boost while reveling in that familiar desperate terrain known as DELUSIONAL THINKING summed up by Sally Field in her Oscar Acceptance Speech so many eons ago, “You like me, You REALLY Like Me”.
