This is from a Hallmark card that was given to me in celebration of my birthday; I am so delighted to get some more of my proverbial flowers of appreciation before I die so that I can smell them, feel them and see them and be even more self-fulfilled with more awareness of the appreciation that some others have for my having lived. I'm sharing it because it's nice to be appreciated and some who read it may empathize with me realizing that the same applies to you in regards to you and your respective birthdays:
"LET'S CELEBRATE YOU
It's nice to have a day set aside to celebrate you.
All too often you go about your daily routine and responsibilities
without hearing
how much you matter
to everyone around you.
That's why it's good to have a day just to celebrate you.
and to assure you
that you really do make a difference.
Happy Birthday."
About Me
- PERMAN WILSON
- MY BELIEF IN GOD IS NATURALISTIC: Unlike most people who use the name, God, I have a rational definition for the concept: I define 'god' to mean 'ruler'. When I write the name 'God' with a capital "G," I am referring to each one of the elements in my trinity working together in harmony. Thus, for me: (1) Nature is god of the Universe. (2) Humanity is god of the planet Earth. (3) My own mind is god of my own body. I SERVE NATURE BEST BY KNOWING AND OBEYING THE LAWS OF NATURE AS MUCH AS I CAN DETERMINE WITH SCIENCE AND MY SCIENTIFIC THINKING. I SERVE HUMANITY BE BEING HUMANE. I SERVE MY OWN MIND BY CONTINUOUSLY LEARNING AS MUCH AS I REASONABLY CAN, AND THINKING OPTIMISTICALLY, HEALTHFULLY, AND WHOLESOMELY WHILE ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT.
