REFLECTIONS ON MY BIRTHDAY

REFLECTIONS ON MY BIRTHDAY:
I am very fortunate to have had the life I've lived for 64 years.
As a physician, I have had the privilege to witness pain and suffering in my fellow human beings, and in many cases, I have been able to heal and restore health and well-being.
I have been able to travel and marvel at the richness of other cultures, as well as the goodness at the core of other peoples, who are very happy and content with none of the material possessions we have.
I am thankful my life experiences have been many, most of them positive and rewarding. The risks I've taken have paid off many fold for me and my family.
I am overjoyed and emotionally fulfilled by the many friends and family members who have communicated with me today to wish me a good day. I treasure you.
My birthday celebration would not be complete without reflecting on the words of my favorite poem:
Pablo Neruda
