HERCULANEUM

So, Saturday was my Birfday. The day of my Birf. The day in which I was birfed. And it was grand. I shall tell you a bit about it in a pending post, but until then, I wanted to share with you two things that two different friends shared with me for that day.

First of all, some hipster Disney Carolers singing "Happy Birfday" to me. Indirectly through another "Kevin" from Connecticut - thus the crazy "Connect-ect-ect-ect-ti-cut-cut" at the end of their rendition. But, otherwise, I'm certain that they were just singing this to me. Thanks, LeLannie!

And another friend sent this "Promissory" wisdom. And I can only imagine what heaven would come from its wide spread use.

PROMISE YOURSELF

* To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
* To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
* To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
* To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
* To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.
* To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
* To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
* To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
* To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
* To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
