Tooting My Own Horn

Everybody, today is my 28th birthday.  Hooray!  Thanks, dear God, for the gift of life.  Thanks for a wonderful husband who takes me out to a very nice restaurant where we have a very nice bottle of wine and some very nice filet mignon.  Thanks for my new china teapot, which will help me to be very girly and have friends over for tea.

I am delighted that 4 saints have feast days today–I have a feeling that benefits me somehow.  St. Gerard Majella, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Hedwig, and the Feast of Mary’s Purity (note: the celebration of the purity of Mary is an ancient one that has lost attention these days–I was delighted to learn of it, however, because my name, Catherine, means “pure one”).  Dear saints, please pray for me.  Lord knows I need it.

I’m glad to be alive.
