Thanks again, everyone. Nah...that video was too funny!  Here's a birthday video sent to me in PM. I thought it was way cool. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZhFmnNKffA
I also got a birthday surprise from the FedEx woman!  It was an adorable birthday bear and a Hershey's kisses tin with a solid chocolate CAKE inside...AND a candle. How sweet was that? Thank you, Robo. 
I spent the day with one of my daughters, saw another one for a few minutes, talked on the phone with the other two and then my mom. Now, if y'all will sing Happy Birthday to me, I'll have the neighbor light the candle (bad luck if I do it myself), and I'll make a wish and blow it out. 
Oh, I forgot to add this. My oldest daughter sent it to me and I love it. Hey...I made it to 52.
Question: How do you feel about getting older?
Answer: Old age, I decided, is a *gift*.
I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have
always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometime despair over my body, the
wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback
by that old person that lives in my mirror (who looks like my mother!),
but I don't agonize over those things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family
for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become more kind
to myself, and l am less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.
I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my
bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks
so avante garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be
extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before
they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM
and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60's & 70's, and
if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love ... I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body,
and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the
pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as
well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important
things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your
heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or
even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are
what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never
broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and
to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my
face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their
hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what
other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned
the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question, I like being older. It has set me free. I
like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while
I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been,
or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day.
(If I feel like it)
