Birthdays

“Birthdays mark time. But they also give us a chance to focus on what really matters in our lives; to recommit ourselves to the values we believe in, to the people we care about, and to the work still left to do.” (A quote from Michelle Obama as she celebrates Barack’s 65th)

Happy Birthday Barack!

I celebrated my 87th last month, and Michelle’s quote really spoke to me. Yes, birthdays do mark time. But I agree, they give us a chance to gather together with people we really care about, and recommit ourselves to the values we believe in.

My values are mirrored by Pete Buttigieg in his “Rules of the Road”

My faith points to those values and to the greatest of these: Just love one another!
May your birthdays be those reminders Michelle talks about, and may you have a long and healthy and prosperous and fruitful life!

Hugs, JanBeek
