As the winds of time continue to blow through my life, and I am reminded of how small I am in comparison to the world and the universe around me, I am more and more grateful for and awed by the magnitude and splendor of all the blessings I have known during my life. It hasn't always been easy, but all is well. All is well. All manner of things shall be well.
I took these photos on my recent trip to NYC. The first is in the foyer of a friend's house - nice front window. The second is at an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. Awe-inspiring. Beautiful. Simple. Grand.
*****************************************************************************
It's my party.
So celebrate with me.
Light a candle or two.
Say a prayer.
Smile at and say hello to a stranger.
Drink an extra hot peppermint mocha.
Eat Christmas cookies before dinner.
Hug someone you love and tell them how you really feel.
Why?
Tomorrow is my birthday!!!
I'll be 42 years old.
Yeah for me!
It's been a great life thus far.
Glory be!

Gail,
An early Happy Birthday to you! I hope the weekend's great.I'm mailing something for you today.
By the way, I love the photo at MoMA, and I love Martin Puryear's work!
Dear Gail,
Happy Birthday to you! What a great post too(hey a bit of a rhyme there sort of).
Eat lots of cake and pamper yourself with love for raising a family and all you do for others with words of encouragement!
Blessings,
