Another year older, apparently, yet hardly another year wiser.
This birthday a milestone, but I subscribe to the theory that if you haven't grown up by the time you hit 50, you never have to. Nice to be clear of that responsibility, and I get to keep on treasuring my inner kid.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts.
โข Amy ... for starting this thread with that amazing cake iced by Vincent ~ a real work of art
โข SillyGirl ... for rising early and launching my day by making me smile
โข CycleGuy ... for the chocolate greetings ... and the advice to switch to imgur ... which got me so enthused about photos I started that new Wet & Wonderful thread
โข Tristan ... for your attitude, your energy, your hugs
โข Oddball, Ang, Bubba, Peace and everyone else ... for your pix and birthday wishes.
Thank you one and all.
May all the warmth and affection of your good wishes for me return tenfold to you during the coming year. May sunshine fill your days and light your path. And may karma read your hearts and reward your good deeds.
