Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.In tribute to the ancestors whose birthdays and anniversaries may have fallen through the cracks during all the holiday chaos.

A special happy birthday "aloha" to my cousin and her husband and daughter, all of whom celebrate December birthdays. Also, birthday greetings go to a certain first cousin, once-removed, and her husband; and anniversary greetings to a special couple who shall remain unnamed. Hopefully you all know who you are. :-)
