Fortuitously for me – my birth date is nestled in-between (exactly 5 days before and 5 days after) two of the most well known American presidents. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The national holiday created to celebrate both of their birthdays occurs in the middle, therefore falling on my birthday giving me a wonderful feeling every time I think about it.
If any of their virtues can rub off on me (even just a little) as the result of proximity of birth dates, I’m a happy camper.
The courage, determination, strength of will and love of country that each repeatedly displayed during the course of their lives makes them men to honor and live up to as an American.
I am proud to be an American and I am proud of my family and fellow Americans.
Happy Birthday George and Abe!
~ Penny,
p.s. – I’m just spoofing with my photo here. although a female president (not me but someone highly qualified) would be a wonderful thing indeed – just saying …
The Why About This 
A belated happy birthday to you Penny, hope you had a fantastic day π
Thank you Claire. My birthday was a good one. Just the way I like them to be! π
Happy Belated Birthday dear Penny!!! I truly hope you had a wonderful day. You are indeed in good company — or rather George and Abe are in good company with you! π
Jessica
Thank you Jessica. I’m still mostly offline attending to a few things. I have been enjoying myself, however, and I especially thank you for the oh so nice compliment! π
Many happy returns of the day Penny.
Do you realise that the very consciousness you hold of the character and virtues of the two Greats on both side is in itself a step forward for you. So what could be your next step?
Shakti
Hi Shakti! I’ve been offline quite a bit recently. I’d like to thank you for stopping by. My next step is to keep improving my mind as I continue to try to make a positive difference for others. Both things are very fulfilling! π
Happy birthday Penny and how fitting where you birthday falls because your views on the world are certainly admirable qualities and would make for great presidential candidacy. Just saying. π
Hi Debby, thank you for your birthday wishes and you are way too kind. I am honored by your words. I don’t think I qualify but I greatly appreciate your thoughts my friend! π

It does not affect her cute face or good looks
He uses discretion
Asks only one question
This year did you get any good books?
