along with avalanche of well-wishers, my special day was celebrated with somethng gold and bubbly,something sweet and creamy and something citrucy and healthy. by mid-day a wonderful, intangible gift was given to me. and i just couldn't believe that it did happen on my birthday!! :-)) the next day, the 20th remains a special and important day. it was neil's piano examination at the royal conservatory of music which we were so anxious and excited about. munchkins and i celebrated my day and neil's musical accomplishment. i love birthdays especially when it begins and ends in pretty notes.
whenever i find myself arguing for something with great passion, i can be certain i'm not convinced. i find it almost impossible to make a strong declarative statement in conversation without feeling little nagging doubts and reservations. "i agree" and "i disagree" are impossible states of mind. no two people can think exactly alike or anthithetically. sometimes i say "i agree", because i want to avoid an encounter; sometimes i just want to get the other person to shut up. i usually say "i disagree," when i want to exhibit myself. there is an important difference between telling a person how i experience him and adding arguments to support the correctness of my view. my feelings about another do not require a case. i don't notice them deductively.
