My Companion’s Birthday
Lisa and I are different about our birthdays. She has adjusted to my need for silence and space on my birthday, and I’m trying to get better at making it a more special day for her. We typically go to our place, Jonathan’s at Gratz Park, for dinner. But with Lisa’s gall bladder issues we are waiting until after her surgery to enjoy a meal and fine wine. The past few years my best gift has been my time and attention. We don’t always live Ferris Bueller’s advise, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t slow down you could miss it.” I went home a little early this afternoon and turned my cell phone off.
I wish I could play an instrument, but alas my talent is pressing play. Do you remember what was once called a ‘mix tape’. Tonight we are listening to music:
To Young to Feel this Old – Garth Brooks
Waltz Across Texas – Ernest Tubbs
Crazy for You – Madonna
I’ve Been Waiting for a Girl Like You – Foreigner
Stuck on You – Lionel Richie
More Than a Woman – Bee Gees
Silver Wings – Merle Haggard
Hopelessly Devoted to You – Olivia Newton-John
Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton
Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman – Bryan Adams
Ain’t Nothing ‘Bout You – Brooks and Dunn
Feels Like Home – Bonnie Raitt
Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About – Bonnie Raitt
Love Established – Amanda Wagoner
Italian Love Songs – Luciano Pavaroti
Crazy – Patsy Cline
A Groovy Kind of Love – Phil Collins
I Got You Babe – Sonny and Cher
Forever and Ever, Amen – Randy Travis
It is the best gift I have.
