Well, this Libra is turning 55 on Friday!How'd that happen!? Seems like just yesterday I was about 8.
I remember once when my mom had a birthday in her late 70's, I asked her how she felt, and she said "I feel like I'm 25!" I remember we both laughed, and I said "Well, I've gotta' say, you don't really look 25!" But isn't that wonderful that she felt so young. That's what's important, I think.
I'm definitely at an age where I'm comfortable in my own skin.

Have a great weekend, all!
As for me, I'll be flying to Eugene, Oregon tomorrow, and then taking a meandering drive to northwestern California this weekend.

And a very happy birthday to you!
Yes, I think the feeling of age reflects the way life is lived.We can't discount calendar dates, but we can make 'em count!
The age we really have is that we feel inside, in our heart.....so, ¡¡Happy birthday!! And try to be happy every day, life is wonderfull and friends and family, the most important.
Big hug.
Enrique.
I wish you
dreams come true,
cherished friendships,
hopes realized,
new challenges,
much love,
and continued health and happiness!
Hey, girl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :D
Enjoy that lovely west coast. Hope your day is a pleasant one. ~xox
A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!!! Your watercolor paintings are mouthwatering good!!! I enjoyed looking at your airport sketches too. Only one way to avoid birthdays.......
Have a very Happy Birthday, and a great trip, too. Do you think we ever feel 55...or 60...or...maybe that's a great gift: to never feel one's chronological age but still feel like that young girl inside.
Happy Birthday! We're the same age now. No. You'll always be younger. :) But its a good age to be. It just gets better!
Have a wonderful day and keep producing these delicious watercolours. The balloons are perfect!
Have a wonderful weekend Thats a nice drive along the coast. You will be so close yet so far. I love what your Mother said about being 25. I think its all in the mind... and body. lol Happy 55th.
I hope it's a wonderful day for you, Sue. Here's to many, many more!
Thanks so much, everyone! Cris, I thought of you and wondered if I could somehow finagle a side trip to try to meet you, but i have a feeling it's going to be a long day of driving, and I'll probably have to get a move on it. But I'll be thinking of you!
Bummer, But I understand. Would have been nice but it is a long drive. Maybe one day you will come to our college in town. but it might be a JR college. I dont really know.
I've sent you an email, Cris--we'll see! ;)
Happy birthday, Sue.
Sent one back. ;)
Thank you, Jennifer! Very sweet of you! ;)) Cris, I'm looking forward to meeting you!!
Joyeux Anniversaire, chêre Sue…! ! !
I wish you a day filled with joy and sunshine.
Birthday bisous and hugs…xxx
Happy Birthday. As one 13 yrs your senior I want to say you have a long while yet to feel good in your skin. I still do, even just now when I start to see it changing...shape...texture...but like good art it simply becomes more interesting.
Thanks so much, Terrie!
Lynn, I hear you! I'm one of those people who find wrinkles interesting--shows the life one's lived. So I don't mind mine. And believe me, I have 'em!! thanks for the birthday wishes!!
May all your birthday wishes come true! Happy Birthday!
I am enjoying your images from the trip! Hope you had a great Birthday! Safe travels to you and hug a sequoia for me! :D
So sorry I arrived late to the party,
but I am sure you had a wonderful day!
I wish you the very best and may all your dreams come true in the new year of your life.
Hugs,
Merisi

One day, I'd love to come and see it, Geraldine! Thanks for the invitation!
Carol, thanks! Hope you're having a great time in Paris! xo
I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I have found you blog whilst bloghopping and have to say your artwork is fabulous. It's just so delicate and I just love it.
I do hope you had a lovely birthday on Friday. Only 55? I remember asking my Mum the same question and getting roughly the same answer! I love those quotes, they're really funny. Have a great trip.
Your paintings are just beautiful, especially the balloon one.
Thank you so much, Maureen, and BT, thank you, too! Very nice of you. Certain days, 55 feels very old, others not at all! LOL
