Birthdays
First, Break All the Rules

I feel like I'm really happy, fortunate to have my family and the things I'm involved in, even without the people not here who were here once. ~ Caroline Kennedy You have no birthday because you have always lived; you were never born, and never will die.

I must subconsciously arrange these trips so the dagger of time pierces an empty bed. ~ John Updike What can you say when you husband says: You can't expect me to remember your birthday… when you never look any older. ~ Toni Anderson Real birthdays are not annual affairs. Real birthdays are the days when we have a new birth. ~ Ralph Parlette Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end. ~ Richard Bach Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again. ~ Menachem Mendel Schneerson
"There is still no cure for the common birthday." ~ John Glenn
