I turned 51 today

[CatWoman]

and I have never, ever felt so unsure of myself and the future.

George Bush and the Republican-led Congress have taken a very pertinent word out of our vocabulary: hope.

The greatest, most beloved gift I could ever receive is the return of Congress to the Democrats.

I want to be able to hope again.

thanks for listening.

I disagree with Saint Paul - the greatest is hope. I've had some really low points in my life, and I've found that as long as you still have some glimmer of hope - and a sense of humor - you will make it through.

Have a great day!

[mike_c]

15. happy birthday from a fellow 51 year old...

...who is also quite worried about the future!

[bikebloke]

16. Actually, you turned 49 again.

After 50, you can start counting backwards. I reached 49 again back in September.

Happy Birthday!

[mitchtv]

17. Happy Birthday, you'll never catch me

BTW Shemar Moore will be dropping your present off

[rosesaylavee]

18. Happy Birthday!

May you always remember this as the week that it turned around for the better.... here's my favorite Gandhi quote for you:

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always.

My advice - go out and spit into the wind! You are so very young - go out and have some fun! :party:

[HereSince1628]

19. How's it feel to be 27 for the 24th time?

Just wait until you turn 27 for the 27th time. That's a really special day! And W will be a memory by then!

20. Forever young right along with you, lovely CatWoman...... happy day.

24. Happy Birthday Catwoman!

I am just a hair behind you, and I know just what you are saying!

Here's a little something to give you a giggle. I have had thids graphic for a long time just to remind myself ... to stop and smell the roses when I can.



:grouphug: You are in good company, if I do say so myself.

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. "well, that sucked"

:rofl: That is so cute.:)

[JitterbugPerfume]

25. happy Birthday CatWoman

I have been having those same misgivings . I will be 66 on Nov22 ,and I thought encroaching old age would be somewhat less unsetteling.

Maybe we will feel better when the smoke clears after the election

[southerncrone]

45. We share the same BD

Hope we are still partying on the 22nd!!:party: Happy Birthday in advance!
We were cursed in '63, and I've been trying to get over it my whole life. :grr:

This election could help that recovery process immensely!:bounce:

[JitterbugPerfume]

62. Happy birthday southerncrone!

Nov22,1963 was one of the worse days of my life. I was 23 that yr , and like you , it has cast a pall over my whole life.


I dare not pin to much hope to much on this election , but I have a good feeling about it .

[AnnInLa]

26. Hang on for another 2 years, until after 2008

Then you will feel hopeful again! Like you, I am in my 50's and go back and forth between wanting to live another 50 years to see how it all comes out, and being glad I won't be around in 50 years to see what the country has become. Well hell, better to be here than not, eh?

The 50's are really liberating.....you'll see. This is a private joke just among us "oldsters" that you others will learn about soon enough. If I told you the joke, then I'd have to kill you.

All the happies to you, girl. I am glad you are here on DU and always enjoy all of your posts. You are invaluable to DU! Do something for yourself today!

[tblue]

27. Happy Birthday! And I hope fonedst dream comes true.

Don't even think about politics though today, just enjoy your birthday and have fun!

:loveya:

[brook]

40. Happy Birthday.

May your wish come true! Without hope none of us are able to breathe...or dream...fully realize our own potential. We can't even reach out for happiness. I think hopelessness has the most paralyzing effect on the spirit.

On Wednesday, I'd like to see you awash in hope! Meanwhile...:party: :toast:

[Lars39]

43. Happy Birthday, CatWoman!

I understand. I never thought I'd feel that way either...seeing a hopeless-feeling society used to be just a plot in a movie to me. :hug:
We've gotta turn this shit around before there's a whole new generation or two that don't even have memories of what hope used to feel like. We'll do it, too.

[GoneOffShore]

44. Happy Birthday Cat Woman

Now I understand your passionate response to so many topics.

I have the great good fortune of being married to a Scorpio. Of course, I'm an Aquarian (the man who carries the can) and am passive aggressive.

46. Wow! Same number we'll have in the Senate. Good omen.

Happy birthday, my friend.

[terip64]

47. Happy Birthday, CatWoman! Have hope honey! Life is good!

Truly! I know things suck so bad right now. I know. But we still have so much ahead of us and hope is our motivation. With out that we have nothing. We will straighten out this mess because we have no other choice. We'll get it done!

Try to enjoy your birthday! Celebrate at the very least the turn of public opinion. We've come a long way in the last 2 years.

The only way to save this country is to have a Democratic majority and elect a Democratic President in 2008. It would not be only a gift to you, but to all of us!

Just turned 51 myself. Part of me is sad and angry about what's been happening since Bush has been in office, but right now, I also feel somewhat optimistic. Hang in there, Cat.

74. Never mind the bullocks. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We'll get the rest worked out.

I can understand and appreciate your doubts and fears, but I have a never ending supply of hope for our country and its citizens. I honestly believe that most people are naturally good, and will try to do the right thing. We just have to be patient, and diligent, and always willing to receive them when they finally are able to admit that they have been on the wrong course. I feel that America is finally waking up from a long sleep. And we're gaining ground. These are good days!

Now go enjoy your birthday. YOU DESERVE IT!

I'm sure there's some guy out there that will be interested in the mature, self assured, intelligent Lady that you've become, but I've got to stick to those hot- under 50- non-menopausal- air heads that don't ask too many hard questions.

I'm also 51, for another couple of months anyway.

I admit, I'm also a bit apprehensive about the future of this country. My worst fear is that the repukes will hijack the election again and we indeed continue the slide into fascism. Personally, I have the job I've always wanted, finally, and making enough money so I'm not robbing Peter to pay Paul (but not more).

Let's hope that in a few days we are wearing huge smiles as we kick the repuke trash to the curb.
