It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said,
"Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm."

I've always felt that birthdays are a fun day and a day that friends should remember. Over the years I have tried to call or send a card to friends and family members on their birthday as a way of recognizing this important day. As I've grown older I have, in jest, said that my philosophy for a happy and long life was to choose a healthy diet, adopt a regular exercise program, and never, ever, look in the mirror. The photo below is of Willie Nelson on his 84th birthday. I'm sure he's had many fun birthdays and has obviously lived a long life. I don't know if he has ever looked in the mirror, but he might consider not allowing his photograph to be put in national newspapers as this one was.
