a happy "birthday"

received many b-day wishes today.
some came from sms, others from facebook, phone calls, or face-to-face
each meant to me because it is an expression of their love
thank-you for the great friends & family i have!
i understand why the attendant at the gas station asked, "did you win the lottery today - you look really happy?"
i first paused at the question because he's asking someone who doesn't believe in the lottery system.
then i laughed over it because i realized why he made the remark.
this glow is not about money
it is about truly being in a state of happiness!
