"...OK ... I've been wallowing in self pity that I've officially hit the age where others think I need to be reminded ..." Just absolutely WONDER!!fully said, Frizzy. You made me laugh out loud.
"If you've hit a milestone you weren't aware of..." You made me think of this. I hit a milestone I was fully aware of hitting when I turned 30 and it's not one you might imagine. The surprise is that I didn't know the effects would be so longlasting. You see, I was THRILLED to not be 29 anymore. And I remain surprisingly INCREASingly thrilled I'm not 29 and will never be 29 again :) ! I LOVE birthdays because of the increasing distance between me and 29. As you can see, 29 and I didn't get along very well :) .
Again, Happy Happy Birthday to you :) !
Ahh, it is good to give thanks! Looks like you have a bountiful list of blessing there!
Happy Birthday to you!
Thank you all very much for your sweet comments and sentiments. Smooches!
Happy Birthday Frizzy!
Love,
From Me, Yaya and the 3 Dogs who keep you busy!
Happy Birthday!! {what a great idea!!}
