Yesterday I wasn’t my usual Birthday Gal self.
Despite kind messages from friends afar.
The sky was cold and gray, and my heart was heavy.
Then my loving Zippy came home early bearing gorgeous gifts.
It’s hard feeling down in the presence of sunflowers.
I decided it was time to make that new hoop I’ve wanted.
I find myself smiling again.
Life goes on.
Thank you to all who share it with me.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I don’t know if you saw Sharon’s (Whiskersink) happy birthday post to you yesterday, but it’s a beautiful image that seems perfectly suited to you. (I left a comment there for you…)
I love your hoop — it’s gorgeous, and I’m smiling as I imagine you performing with it. It’s a metaphor, maybe, for the dance we do with Father Time. (In a good way.)
Whew, I’m waxing all poetic on this post, aren’t I? Blah de blah, I hope I’m not boring you. š
Okay, shorter and more to the point: Happy Birthday, my cherished friend.
