I really like this Birthday Blessings poem, and thought you'd appreciate it too.

Birthday Blessings

Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings now,
As your birthday nears.

Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there.

Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.

Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"

By Joanna Fuchs

Happy Birthday, Faysie. My new motto is that we're only over the hill when we reach 100!

Hi RoseBush. I'm not sure that we ever are 'over the hill'. I'm sure our state of mind and outlook on life has a great deal to do with how we age. As somebody said in an earlier thread of Serialmom's, there are some much younger people who are positively *aged* in their attitudes. I have a friend who is now 101 and while sight-challenged, is as alert and bright as a woman half her age. Listens to the news, etc. and her favorite shows... likes to have things read to her about current events, etc. She stays current and involved - and it definitely shows. /faysie
