Usually, it's freezing, snowing, or gray. I've never had a sunny day in the 50's before.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.

They often celebrate together on the day in between. Happy belated birthday to you! I think late February is a good time for birthdays -- it's that hopeful, hope-filled, it's-almost-springtime, re-birth time of year. I hope 2012 will be a great year for you.Carol J.

Yay I picked the right day to comment!<br /><br />Ageing doesn't matter or seem to - we just need a positive take on life. My mother's illness and the fact I'm on my way to ancientness!!! has allowed me to realise I can write - and opens new horizons to explore as my time becomes freer ... for now I continue to learn and educate myself ..<br /><br />Cheers and I do hope you have a happy time and fun weekend ahead ..

I learned to seek pleasing God instead of some friend whose approval I craved. I guess I can say aging has straightened my priorities. And ain't it grand to see more clearly? I hope to continue learning and growing as a person. <br /><br />Your list was beautiful.

Birthdays are a gift from God, and I relish each one. <br /><br />Hi Linda - Mom didn't give me her gift yesterday. She's saving it for my actual birthday. My birthday has already stretched to a week. :)<br /><br />Hi Karen - Thank you! Life is good. I'm celebrating every moment.<br /><br />Hi Aritha - Welcome! Thanks for commenting. I believe we have more to give as we age. While I'm not ancient, I hope your thoughts on the book come to pass.<br /><br />Hi Jess - Aww, thanks! You're at a wonderful season of life. Those little ones grow up fast. Enjoy every minute. :)<br /><br />Hi Nancy - Oh, I love your observations. You're right, you can get away with "quirkiness" as you get older. I'm thinking of the lady who wears purple. Uh, I'm her!<br /><br />Hi Jill - Oh, I'm glad I made your heart smile. That made MY day. :)<br /><br />Hi Melanie - I'll have to pop over there a little later. I have to get to the gym - gotta stay in shape if you want to enjoy life.<br /><br />Hi Susan - Thanks.

Well, first and foremost, I love setting my own schedule---not working a 9 to 5 job. Work part-time jobs but they are both exceedingly flexible.<br /><br />I know the things and activities that bring me joy and do them---writing, writing, and writing, swimming, collecting miniatures, going to concerts, shopping in <br />thrift stores, selling on eBay, doing my blog, and so forth.<br /><br />How has aging influenced my writing? I can sit down and just let the words pour out of my heart....no struggle anymore. Life is a good teacher and, to me, it's also a tremendous gift. Thanks for asking.

I'm a lot more selective about starting projects as I don't need more useless manuscripts in my drawer.<br /><br />I love that as I get older, I can be more quirky. I can do silly things and get away with them. I don't have to be so serious. And I, too, love all of the history both in time and in my photo albums.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163662759281341381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-80717103027555460282012-02-20T13:04:52.704-05:002012-02-20T13:04:52.704-05:00Happy Birthday!!! :-)
