IT IS MY BIRTHDAY! I AM 75 TODAY!

 


Thank you for all the get well wishes. I have been reading them this morning and am feeling very grateful for our true and dear blogging community. My thanks also to everyone else in my life who sent me emails, texts and cards today, and kept in touch throughout the year. I am blessed to know you and value our friendship more than I can put into mere words.

If anyone else has their special day the same as mine, Happy Birthday to you too.  

I learned Ringo Star had his 85th yesterday, so Happy Belated Birthday Ringo. I hear you are a very nice and decent person. Somehow I think I knew that.

I feel a lot better and am looking forward to writing overdue letters and catch up during the next few days. 

I am also hoping to go out with my family this evening.


Sending lots of love and hugs to you all!

    1. That’s great Marcia, and can’t say it was anything but a happy day. I have become more reflective though, which I think comes to us all, and I still feel the same age as I always was. Just a few nuts and bolts needing to be tightened more, lol! Let us know what day your birthday is on, so that I can wish you a happy birthday :)

    Isn't it great people like Ringo, Paul, Mick Jagger, Willie Nelson and so many of the music legends from the 60s and 70s are still going strong :-D 60s and 70s is my favourites for music :-D
