    Julie -- here's to todays'"happenings" being boring and not at all sad. Seems you're a very strong person - one that loss will not take under.... Have a special day of reflection - knowing that those you've lost from this world... and for other reasons, have made you a stronger soul. Take care... and Thanks for all you do and share on your blog...

    My sister moved her birthday also, so you aren't alone in doing that. Her actual birthday is Sept. 11th so you can see why she felt the desire to change it. I think it's a great idea. Heck, you might even get some people who will help celebrate on both days. Those are your true friends!
    Happy Birthday!!!

    Happy (un)Birthday!!! I totally understand wanting to change the date: mine is on the 13th and I always feel guilty taking time for myself durring the busy Christmas season, so a few years ago I decided that it would be on Jan or Feb. 13th (whichever worked into the family schedule better!) Hope you had a great day!!

    I hope you don't mind if some of us celebrate your actual birthday because the day you came to the world was a real gift. You have added to my life through this blog, and getting to know you just a bit through it, I can tell how richly you've added to so many others. I hope you have a very nice birthday this year, one to help dispel the clouds of other years gone by.

    ps: hope you got my little gift...which should have been a hanukkah present, not christmas! i apologize for that.
