“With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.”*

Today is my birthday and at my age this is just not the Big Thing it used to be. But it is still a thing and should be noted.
Time passes and I have to remind myself that I am the mother of three adult, self-supporting children and a grandmother, a wife of going on 37 years, and the director of an institute…because often I still feel like an insecure 17-year old.
I’ve come a long way, Pilgrim…but then again, not so far.
So out with the old mantra (Hope for the best, expect the worst) and in with the new: God has blessed me and I am happy.
*Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
Happy Birthday, darling dual personality!!! I wish I were there to celebrate with you. Have a blessed day — eat some chocolate!
Happy birthday dear mama! Are you sitting in streamers in the vintage picture?
Yes, in the senior room at MI at the end of the year. Feeling out of it.
Happy Happy Birthday!! Wish I was celebrating WITH you 🙂
Happy Birthday, mom! I like your new mantra 😊
