Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Maria, I have this tiny old-fashioned book called The Good Fortune Birthday Book. I had to read you what today's entry says:

January 2

"Your love of family is your strongest characteristic and your greatest charm. Your very devotion and earnestness to succeed for them will help you gain your success. With your generous and happy nature, you will loyal, true and devoted friends."

Thanks everyone! How sweet to pop in here and see this thread - my birthday is what I generally refer to as the "Holiday hangover" birthday as we have 5 birthdays between Thanksgiving and now and Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year and by now, there really is such a thing as too much cake.

I really appreciate the birthday wishes.

Thank you very much.
