MY DAY....A GIFT FROM GOD.

TONIGHT, AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT... AS TIME CLICKS AWAY THE SECONDS AFTER MIDNIGHT..MY SEVENTIES WILL BE HISTORY. THOSE NUMBERS WILL ALL BE MY YESTERDAYS. STARTING MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2018, I BEGIN A BRAND-NEW JOURNEY INTO THE EIGHTIES.

EVERYDAY, I'M THANKFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE AND WHO I AM. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT MY GROWING NUMBERS. REGARDLESS OF EVER-INCREASING YEARS, I WILL CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE MY EVERY-EXPANDING KNOWLEDGE AND VERY-ACCESSIBLE MEMORY BANK.

I BELIEVE I'LL ONLY BE "OLD"--- WHEN I STOP LIVING EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY; WHEN I ALLOW NUMBERS TO DICTATE WHO I AM, HOW I LOOK, HOW I LIVE, AND WHAT I DO. SO, FORGET THE NUMBERS. I WILL KEEP ON LIVING, KEEP ON LOVING, AND KEEP ON WRITING...TO THE END.

YEAR AFTER YEAR, THE LITTLE GIRL INSIDE NEVER FAILS TO SAY: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MY BEST FRIEND. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE YOU AND TOGETHER, WE'LL ALWAYS BE YOUNG-AT-HEART."

BEST OF ALL...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GOD. THANK YOU, GOD, FOR GIVING ME LIFE AND FOR LOVING ME...CONSTANTLY.

SIMPLY,
SALLY
BELOW, YOU'LL FIND THE VERY TOUCHING MEMORY I POSTED IN HONOR OF MY BIRTHDAY.
