MARMELODIAN: Blog/Diary

March 15th is almost over....and I'm 59 years old.  REALLY!  I've been practicing saying I'm 59 for several weeks now, but it still sounds strange to me.  Oh well, consider the alternative, as my husband says.  

I had a wonderful birthday with my two sons.  The three of us went out to lunch and the owner of The Bistro asked me about my companions.  "They're my sons," I said.  "We're eating lunch out because, guess what!  It's my birthday." 

His face lit up.  "Guess who else's birthday it is," he said.

"Yours?" 

"Yes, and I've never met anybody else who has the same birthday," he said.  "Happy Birthday!"

"Happy Birthday to you!"

"Hey, do you like chocolate cheese cake?" he asked.

"YES!" we chorused.  He said he would bring us a piece of his birthday cake for dessert.  The food at The Bistro is wonderful and we were stuffed, but we managed to make room for cheese cake and it WAS delicious! 

It's so much fun when a coincidence like that happens, isn't it?  But I wonder, are there ever any REAL coincidences? Sometimes I have a sense that everything is meant to unwind in precisely the way it does. 

Be Well and Good Luck!  Martha Maria
