It's NOT Just Another Day

 
Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me... Oops, sorry I got caught up in the spirit of the day! Today is indeed my birthday. As those of you who know me know, I'm not usually much into celebrating my birthday, let alone getting into conversations about age. But I must confess I secretly enjoy celebrating and one of my fantacys is to have a surprise party which is truly a surprise! I've only had One in my life, which I realize is more than some people, but I'd enjoy another surprise party.

I digress. I was recently reminded by a good friend that I hadn't blogged in quite some time. I think some explanation is necessary. L.I.F.E. Rather, I mean that I've just been so busy with various things that blogging about things just took a back seat. I hope to rectify that. As some or most of you know I was in a sketch comedy show which had several schedule changes and ended up getting me a little off track. While the show was a fun experience, the crazy rehearsals and schedule changes were unusual for me. But loved the show and everyone involved with. For those of you who caught it, thank you, and I hope you enjoyed.

To bring everyone up to speed, since my last post, I've been spending a good deal of time working on my photography skills and having a great time with that. I got the opportunity to photograph a model/actor named Sean Ching recently and that was a lot of fun. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rexhossphotography/

I've also become a Great Uncle for the second time. Happy Birthday to my newest great-nephew Sebastian who was born on Valentine's day! I'm very honored and proud.

Well, I've got to run off to do one of my hobbies - BOWLING - See there's things you always learn about me. I'll try to post more consistely as news is present.

My birthday message is simple - live like there's no tomorrow, enjoying every wonderful precious moment, because the now - the present is THE PRESENT! It is the gift. If you're not enjoying your life and living the life you want then take steps, even small ones, to take ownership of your life. You are the writer, director, producer and star of your show. PS., you're also the audience - and if you don't like the show, transform it into one you do like.

Live, love, laugh for all the years, days, and moments of your life!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR REX!
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

    My gift to you: You can't HEAR ME singing! I can outdo any yowling cat you can find! ;~D

    I do hope you had a great day. And, a bit of sardonic wit, to quote the late Fred Allen: "Live each day as if it were your last. . .and someday you'll be right." When I first heard that more than 40 years ago, it bothered me. But after facing life threatening conditions for both my loved ones and myself, I have come to appreciate it as the ultimate statement for "living in the present."

    Be well and continue to lead a very full life.

    - Leon
