I probably won't get a chance to post this on Monday, so I'll do it now: I hereby wish myself a happy birthday and pray for grace, peace, strength, wisdom, and courage in the coming year. I humbly pray that I might finally begin to live up to my potential and make use of whatever talents I have, and humbly ask for the guidance and intercession of all the saints and angels in Paradise (particularly the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, St. Andrew the First-Called and of the Miraculous Icon, and St. Christopher the Christ Bearer).

And if you don't believe it's my birthday, check this out. Just scroll down to the "Births" section.
