An Om Gal Birthday

So, let's cut to the chase- today's my birthday, which reminds me of one of my favorite birthday cards, received about eight years ago from a childhood friend. On the front, it illustrated two Buddhist monks, one receiving a birthday gift from the other while exclaiming, "Just what I've always wanted!" Inside, the monk was portrayed gleefully opening an empty box and elaborating, "Nothing!"

Thank you for your readership, reflections, and input this year. To you, it may seem like nothing much, but I am very grateful.
