A couple of years ago, a brother sent me a wonderful Christmas gift: he’d made a contribution to the group which buys milk cows for distribution to the poor in poverty stricken areas of the world.
This year a teaching colleague of mine gave me a wonderful birthday gift: she’d made a contribution to Doctors Without Borders which will provide 250 people with antibiotics to fight bacterial infections.
Not to belittle gift-giving on special occasions, but isn’t there a time when we, as adults, would really profit more from donations to worthy charities than we would from candy or flowers or…?
Thinking good thoughts and helping the less fortunate are wonderful ways to celebrate a memorable moment.

I hope you had a great birthday my friend.
