Today is the day the One has made, and it is a birthday for at least five people I know.
First, there's Benjamin Franklin. Who was born on this day in 1706. Although on his Old Style calendar it would have been January 6, 1705.
Then there is my DH, who was born on this date during WWII in Southern California. Next, our son, born a birthday present (unwrapped) at the turn of the last century. Then, my brother's first child was born five years later. Yes, on the exact same date.
Not long after I began blogging here in 2010, I discovered another person who shares the same date, sojourning in one of my programs, Al-anon. Please go on over to wish Syd a Happy Birthday, too. Tell him Smitty sent you.
And a quote from Paris Hilton for the rest of us. Fits my program walk these days.
