Reflections:
*On Birthdays: Needless to say, birthdays are one of the most important days of the year. Celebrating the day on which we were born helps us to appreciate the gift of life. I had a birthday last month and am considered to be a senior citizen at the age of 60-plus. I am Grateful to God for this journey through the years. Growing older is a process that I am embracing with a smile in my heart and on my face.
***Take Care Everyone, GPigott***
