    Every year I spend my birthday alone... this year is no different. I has a sad.
    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills

    Look at it as a day of reflection and introspection. See where you are in life and what you need or want to change so the next year and the rest of your life are better. I don't mean that you should do something simply so your next birthday isn't spent alone, but if that is a byproduct of positive changes in your life, then that's a bonus.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
