Dr. David's Corner

In the future, I'll continue to use "Dr. David's Corner" to write about things that don't quite fit into book form, or expand on the books I've written, or touch on things that are on my mind, dear to my heart, or hit me in the gut. (I'll stop here with the anatomy tour.) I'll write as the situation arises, the muse strikes and time permits.

Hopefully, articles from Dr. David's Corner will educate, entertain, and stimulate discussion in the Crucible4Points.com community.

Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I'm 64?

My wonderful daughter, Sarah, sent me an antique birthday card, which said:

Birthday Wishes:
Let hopeful joy thy brow adorn,
when thou dost greet they natal morn.
And my thy days' seift passing hours,
enjoy the scents and sweets of flowers.

On the card was a male and female pair of birds, nuzzling beak to beak, bringing together the idea of birthday wishes and a satisfying relationship. This visually- beautiful and sentimentally-meaningful card taps the basic way intimate relationships and a satisfying life go hand in hand. What better to wish someone on his or her birthday than a loving and rewarding marriage with a lifemate.

I am thus blessed, and I hope you are too.
