Subject: QOTD for Wednesday, April 27th 2022

So sorry I'm late everybody, I dropped my phone in the toilet last night so I had to wait until I got to work to use this computer. Happy birthday to me.

The following quotation is from The Fiery Cross, written by Diana Gabaldon. Copy Right 1996. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 58: Happy Birthday To You.

“ The camp was beginning to stir outside, with clangings and thumps, and the hoarse sound of sleep-rough voices. Overhead, the grasshopper began to chirp, the sound like someone scratching a nail on a copper pot.

“This is a morning my father never saw,” Jamie said, still so softly that I heard it as much through the walls of his chest, as with my ears. “The world and each day in it is a gift, mo chridhe ---No matter what tomorrow may be.”

I sighed deeply and turned my head, to rest my cheek against his chest. He reached over gently and wiped my nose with a fold of his shirt.

“And as for taking stock,” he added practically, “I’ve all my teeth, none of my parts are missing, and my cock still stands up by itself in the morning. It could be worse.”

[> I chose this quote, even though I know it's a very popular choice, because this birthday I'm officially older than my older sister ever will be. The pain of loss gets easier to bear, but some days still catch you off guard. May the day bring blessings to us all <3 -- Cait, Wed, April 27 2022, 6:14:49

[> [> Happy Birthday, Cait. Your phone landed in the toilet? Oops. It doesn't matter how often some of the quotes are used. Good quotes are good quotes and are always welcome. Sending you peace and hugs for the loss of your sister. The pain of loss blunts over time, but never goes away completely. We just learn not to be crippled by it and keep going. (((((Hugs))))) -- Betsy BFS, Wed, April 27 2022, 13:53:13

[> [> Happy Birthday, Cait! I just turned 46 and on the morning of I did a similar "take stock" and thought of Claire and Jamie doing this. Everything mostly in good working order, so that's a blessing in itself! -- LadyBelle, Wed, April 27 2022, 18:23:04

[> [> [> Belated Birthday wishes Cait and Lady Belle! This is a beloved and “think of on my BD always” quote - though checking different parts and adding an attitude checklist. Outlander touches my life so much. Last night on Jeopardy the answer was “What is Thermodynamics” and my 15 grandson looked at me like “What?!?!” I smiled smugly and said, Outlander. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, April 28 2022, 3:10:51
