good morning all. And to all of you out there who have a birthday today, I wish you a happy one. Today is my birthday. In one way I feel old and in another way I feel like a kid...I guess for some or most of us we will always have that kid thing hanging around inside of us.

I remember when I was a kid though, I would sit and wait around for days even weeks just waiting for the day. I would be so excited the night before because that meant I had some special attention that day...i am pretty sure that all of us felt that way. I can't say that I did not feel that yesterday...knowing that today is my birthday.

Now my husband and I don't have any money to do anything or for him to get me anything, but I guess that is one thing that you grow not to care so much about as you get older. As a child you are wondering what you are going to get for your birthday, and as you grow older...yeah you still wonder if and what you may be getting...but when you know that there is no way that you could get or receive anything, it does not bother you as much...well not me anyway.

I guess the reason why it does not bother me so much is because the most important thing for me is that I spend my birthday with my family. You know I have 4 children and 3 of them are in school...this morning they woke me up to a birthday song and home made birthday cards....that to me, means the world. that was the most wonderful birthday present I could ever get.

So I will be signing off now, I just wanted to take time out and wish all of you a happy birthday, and for those who do not have a birthday today...I wish you a happy birthday in advance or in cases where I have missed your birthday then I wish you a be-lated birthday.

JL Adams signing off.
