FEBRUARY 22
February 22
Happy Birthday to all of us born on this day.
February 22 is the 53rd day of every year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 312 days remaining in 2006.
What have I achieved in these first 53 days of the year? Nothing significant. I have let some people make me feel angry, sad, upset, hurt, resentful, rueful and less confident. I have decided that for the rest of the 312 days I am going to change that. I am going to be my own man (well really my own woman). I am determined to enjoy the rest of 312 days.
Not going to sit around looking at the horizon like last year. There is nothing there on horizon and if there is it needs to come towards me, not me to it.
It has been a satisfactory day. Work successful, interview with the news reporter successful, gym worthwhile, walking the dog enjoyable (without falling anywhere), spent some time at home with dearest Sickie and skyped with mum and brother – cheerful, lots of texts, calls and some presents for the birthday – house nice and tidy – successful. Now all duties and responsibilities take care of so this is my time without feeling guilty. To start the ball rolling I am going to go out for a meal and a little booze up with some girlie friends. When I return hopefully I will not go on to the lost winding path.
I will end the day with some Classic Quotes by George Washington, the First American President born on this day in 1732. Actually he wasn’t born on the 22nd February.
He was actually born on February 11, 1731. During Washington's lifetime, people in Great Britain and America switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar (something most of Europe had done in 1582). As a result of this calendar reform, people born before 1752 were told to add 11 days to their birth dates. Those born between January 1 and March 25, as Washington was, also had to add one year to be in sync with the new calendar.
But I am going to take credit of sharing my birthday with a famous man.
Classic Quotes by George Washington :
A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.
--------------------
Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
--------------------
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
---------------------
Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
