My sister Sheila Hooten and I were in Phoenix AZ to celebrate my brother's 80th birthday last week. I agree that "celebrating the present" is a healthy way to approach a birthday! We had 60 people at a dinner and did a slide show focusing on our brother. It was a good time! My family did the same thing for me a couple of years ago. Despite the initial negative attitude my brother and I both had about a celebration, I learned we all need to use trivial events to celebrate the lives of family and friends. Happy Birthday! Best regards, Dwight Bawcom
I like the quote to your mom and Nouwen quote. I didn’t read the related 50th post but wondered if you need to recant any of those nuggets, or have you eaten them all?
Happy Birthday 🎂
