The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.
Madeleine L’Engle
The truth is that there are some ages I could do without. It’s been a rocky road.
My twenties were brutal; but joy-filled too with the births of my children, so there’s that.
My life was ripped apart and chaotic in my thirties; but I stood strong and made important decisions, with great pain came positive change.
Life got good around forty.
It got great around fifty.
Today, I mark my fifty-ninth birthday and the view from here is pretty sweet. Not perfect, not necessarily what I expected, but sweet nonetheless.
I’ll spend the day in simple happy gratitude.
And snow.
Wishing you many Birthday blessings, Linda!
Thank you, Kathy.
A bloom from a bulb, a butterfly from a chrysalis . . . whatever your metaphor, birthday blessings to you, Linda, and good wishes for many more!
Thank you, Marian.
Have a Happy, Happy day, Linda!!
Thank you, Joan.
I have numerous portions of my life that were horrendous. However, here I am – 60 – and in a “place” I love. I don’t love it all (!) and I’m working on those parts. I enjoy the wonder parts – family, grandchildren, true friends.
We both survived to thrive, Karen. Aren’t we blessed?!
Happy birthday Linda …I truly hope your next decade( which is miles away ?) is as sweet .
