Birthday 67 today! 67! How did I get to be this old? I'm too young to be this old! August 6, 1939 was a long time ago!

Celebrated with a piece of banana cream cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Also had a bowl of cheese soup so I stayed close to my dairy/fruit diet.

Been in mixed-mode all day today. I've read, slept, eaten, walked, and sat a lot. Having lots of thoughts around the material I'm reading in the Dyer book, my inner musings and contemplations, my age, my state of being, and so forth.

My friend P called to wish me Happy Birthday. We ended up talking about the book she took with her on Wednesday--The Law and the Promise by Neville Goddard. I pulled up his web site (one dedicated to his work). There is a photo of Neville on the home page when he was younger. He looks like Jimmy Smits of NYPD Blue fame. Amazing similarity!

The site has articles about Neville and his works that aren't found elsewhere. Noticed that in looking at his site I started "imagining" alongside the Dyer materials--like I said today was mixed-mode.

Called my youngest sister and wished her a Happy Birthday. Her celebration day is tomorrow.

Here's what the world was like (in monetary terms) on August 6, 1939--
Bread:$0.08/loaf
Milk:$0.49/gal
Eggs:$0.58/doz
Car:$750
Gas:$0.19/gal
House:$6,416
Stamp:$0.03/ea
Avg Income:$1,837/yr
Min Wage:$0.30/hr
DOW Avg:150

My monthly Social Security check is nearly what the Average Income was back then. My mother worked as a waitress for less than the Minimum Wage (since she got tips). What was it like to work for 25 cents an hour?

Anyway, it's mixed-mode day. Off to SC get a treatment in the morrow. Will be in Chris's good hands. Haven't had a session with him for a while. 67! Working on 68! May this next year be one of health and joy--for everyone!
