A Taste of Angel Cake: Its my birthday!!

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

Its my birthday!!

With my eyebrows raised in happiness and a dimple on each cheek, created by a smile that dances on the corner of my lips, I gently sing happy birthday to me.

As I sing it I look around at the warmth of the flowers, cards, gifts and chocolates that fill my life on this special day. Seeing them confirms that people really do care for me and that makes me feel good.

I'm the me of today the Angel that took this many birthdays to create. Throughout the years I have matured into the caring, happy, friendly loving, attractive, funny, creative, sexy person that am today and the way I see it…things can only get better.

So I'm going to sing it a bit louder HAPPY BIRTHDAY and pray that for the rest of my life birthdays will feel this wonderful and I will be this much at peace.

Thank you for reading my blog and providing an audience to my escape and creativity.
