yeppers you are one year older, and maybe it hurts more to get out of bed, but believe me, it does no good to fight it, and nope you can’t deny it, cause you…lady are the same age as me *g*

and yeppers I know this is late, but what's that old saying...not the ten cylinder one...the one that says better late than never..oh yeah...that's it ...better late than never *bg*


my suthern sunshine

Planting seeds of hope
in others, lifting them
when they stumble
she does with love and
without IOU’s.
One would never know
that she cries;
one would never know
that she hurts too,
she hides it.
But life is circular
her seeds of hope,
her gift of love
comes back around
in the hand of this
very lucky friend.

Thank you Jellybeaner, for bringing this to our attention!  I have been lax, LAX mind you, in keeping up with birthdays, but doggone it all, I wouldn't have missed this one for the world!  

Happy Birthday, Suthern!

Oh, my heavens. You caught me completely by surprise with this one, lady... for either this is very late, very early... or time is flying faster than I thought... I would have sworn that thing was still months away. *S*

But any day is a day for celebration when so much love is given... I thank you from the bottom of this ole heart, dear friend... you and I both know that stopping this aging thing was an option considered for much of last year... you know all too well those things that "one would never know". *S* And it's because of you and a few other diehards who refuse to stop loving me that birthdays will happen... and will be celebrated. *S*

I love you, lady... and if you expect any comment on this poem, you're outta luck... I'm embracing each and every precious word.

Some people will do just about anything to make a friend age faster, won't they... even throw surprise parties months before the fact? *G* One thing for sure... it IS a surprise! *G*

Thank you, Sunshine and Sven... I appreciate your good wishes and will save them for the appropriate time. *S* But it's not not NOT my birthday... I made my mama suffer through every minute of a hot and humid Louisiana summer... and then some. *G* And then I was born and she learned what suffering REALLY was. *G*

Ah, can't we go backwards and negate it if we wish you more than one wonderful birthday celebration, twice in one year's time?  I mean, you wouldn't mind rewinding the clock back-ack-wards would you?

ok suthern, It's not your birthday, but I think such wonder as your life should be celebrated everyday... and I do!

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Sunshine: If it would help me retire earlier and escape the werk monster, I'd gladly claim a birthday every month! LOL And you've gotta admit... no one could ask for a better present than this lady gave me... unless it's her friendship, day after day, birthday or not. *S*

Kethry: I thank you, sweet lady. *S* Kind comments like that are making this a better day than any birthday I've ever had. *S*

Interloper: This lady thanks you very much. *S*

1slick_lady: She is indeed sweet... the absolute best! LOL. She's also very late or very premature in her wishing. *G* Thank you!

Sunshine: I like that idea LOTS!!! *G* Just make sure I don't have to age with each party... I'm falling apart fast enough! LOL

Martie: I couldn't ask for a better friend. *S* Thank you very much. *S*

Enchantress: It isn't. *G* It's not even close. *G* But I'll save those sweet wishes for November... okay? *S*

Bal: It's even worse... she's OLDER than me! LOL And she's more forgetful... at least where dates are concerned. *G* Thank you, kind sir... it was pretty nice... it was just months ago. *G*

ecrivan: I thank you kindly, sir. *deep curtsy*

jellybeans: Thank you for the laughter, for the poem I'll treasure, for the unexpected party, for being my friend. I'm not sure whether you were trying to improve my temperament by pretending I'm not a Scorpio or you're so used to me shadowing Toe that you think I follow him even in birthdates... or you're just making sure you REALLY surprised me. *G* I'm just sure I'm grateful for you. *S*

Well suthern, I take little responsibility for this party, it is all your fault *shakes her head*  the other day you said something about a ‘missed milestone’ and it didn’t sink in right away, but then on the way in yesterday, I hit my forehead (you know how I tend to think in the car *g*)  and thought, oh no, I must have missed your birthday…well the only milestone *I* have is my birthday, and since you are my o&o, I had to figure it was the same for you…and since I had no idea exactly when it was, I figured yesterday was as good as any to celebrate…it was either early or late, but the heart and wishes are still the same
I love you lady…..and I have given you plenty of tears to sop up, so now its time for smiles and you know me…I share

thank you everyone for helping me make this wonderful friend smile

Lady, the way you drive, you should keep all of your thoughts on the road! LOL Please! *G*

I'm truly touched... not only did you give me a wonderful party... you gave me ammo to tease you with for a long time to come (here I've been thinking I was the blonde airhead *G*)... truly, the gift that keeps giving. *evil grin*

But since you THOUGHT you were being a sassy lil tattletale.... just wait till June. LOL

jellybeans: In your DREAMS, lady! LOL Though I might try your trick and invent a birthday for you... just to make sure you're properly surprised. *G* *innocently polishing halo*

PS: Thank you so much, Dixie! *S* I hope I will be, too... though years sure do seem to pass quickly around my buddy jellybeans. LOL

Sunshine: Don't EVEN go there! LOL One a month is quite enough, thank you... I'm getting too old too fast already! LOL
