Happy Birthday to Me!
I'm forty-eight today. This isn't my happiest birthday ever, since I'm mainly aware of everything I haven't accomplished writing-wise for the last year; nonetheless, as Gary always points out, it's better than the alternative!
Happy Birthday and you should be thrilled! You say you haven't written many of the things you planned this year, well most people (some estimates say 98%) don't even know what they want. Sounds like you know, are moving forward and tracking your progress. Very few people have all that going for them. Congrats and cheers on your B'Day.
Happy Birthday! May God bless you with many opportunities to love Him and serve Him this year. (And may he bless you with lots of beautiful yarn, too!)
Happy Birthday, Susan! May the year ahead be filled with moments of delight. Your blog is such a gift for your readers, a source of comfort, inspiration, and brilliant photos of cats.
Good heavens, woman! I started SEMINARY when I was older than you! Cut yourself some slack, OK? And keep celebrating--no need to limit birthday festivities to just one day!!! May the coming year, and each successive one, be the best yet.
Former English professor, changing careers to go into social work. SF/fantasy writer. Episcopalian. Licensed lay preacher. Hospital volunteer offering spiritual care in the ER. Spinner, weaver, knitter.
And a few other things, less easily labeled. The title of this blog is a phrase John Clute used to describe the plots of my first two novels. It both amused and annoyed me, and I finally decided to reclaim it as a badge of honor. Would you prefer rickety contrivances of doing bad?
A very happy birthday to you! May there be many blessings in store for you.
ReplyDeleteMy neice Sofia has her birthday today, too! She's 4, and loving it.
