50 Times Around The Sun

Today is my Birthday. I have flown around the sun 50 times. Before the next 50 rounds are done, it will most likely be over. Strange. It doesn't seem like even a moment in time.

So many phone calls, hugs, emails, from the ones I love that have made me smile today. Thank you all. We are only here for a while and to make each other smile is what we are here for. What else could possibly be more important?

You know who else made me smile today? Southwest Airlines, Banana Republic and the Dr Laura Schlessinger radio program - they all somehow knew it was my birthday. How scary is that? Now I am stuck with very positive associations for these three "best friends".

More Contrast Needed

Today I asked our eight-year-old to write a classified ad for me - just for fun. He loves to help Mom with Here You Are, loves to work on the computer, and loves to make some extra money with "chores" - in that order. Not only did he give me a lesson on needing "more contrast" in the little Photoshop Ad I was working on, but then, after I left him to his own devices. came up with this Classified Ad. I must admit I was surprised about the words he chose, and how he hit the nail on the head. He was very pleased with himself.

Oh - and here is the Photoshop Ad, too. Grading and contrast by my young PR agent. He was right - more contrast is good. Let's keep that in mind - it's good for all of us!
