“But my birthday’s chosen delights remind me that these years of late have not be a divergence from youth, rather a reclamation of it. Not through potions, procedures, or lofty ambitions in the ways culture might encourage me to, but through paying attention.”
Happy birthday, Kristine! Love your reflections on aging, and I can definitely relate. Our 40s can feel so liberating!
Happy Birthday Kristine! You're younger and finer than ever to me. Also, well done on walking for 150 days straight. I'm so proud of you!
Isn't Mr. Mike the FUNNIEST!?! I love that "finally, the 2nd shift is here"! Made me laugh!
Happy birthday, Kristine! I love your perspective on turning another year older - something I’ll reflect on as I join you in turning 41 this year!
I tried #1000 Words of Summer last year and it was really helpful. I skipped weekends though. 😉 And yay for a trip to look forward to!
Happy birthday! And welcome to taking time to notice things age. Sounds like you have a lovely trip coming up. Enjoy!
