The day after.....









Ugh....yeah....here I am at eighteen years old,
what in the world happened to the time??!!






Sounds quite ominous, doesn't it???
But the day after Christmas isn't for me!!!!
Today is, well....
my forty-ninth birthday!!!!!!
YIKES!

Doesn't it seem that these years
are slipping by faster and faster?????

Well sweet friends, my word for today.....
for THIS day is ~
RELISH.
Relish each moment you have!!!!
Relish the time you have with those you love.....
Don't look at the negative but
always, ALWAYS concentrate
on the goodness around you.....

Simply relish each and every moment that is given to you ~

Wishing you a beautiful "day after Christmas" my sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Happy Birthday to you!! Just enjoy. Numbers don't mean a thing- it's how you feel about you and the world around you. You are deeply loved and have a wonderful family. It's all good.

Dawn, HAPPY BIRTHDAY....yes, 49 a mere CHILD...!

It must be hard sharing a Birthday with Christmas...I would "declare" my birthday was June 25th or something like that. TRY IT !!

Hope you got everything you wished for and more, for your Christmas/Birthday.

Happy Birthday Dawn! At least you're not nearing 60 as I am, and will be in 1 1/2 years. Yikes, I never imagined myself being this age. Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!

I hope you had a fabulous birthday! The years roll by, don't they? Relish is a wonderful word! It reminds us to drink deeply of the day and not just go bounding through it...Hm.m.m, I think I feel a post coming on. :)

Thank you for the bird images. Birds are my favorites (as well as cats, but the two do NOT go together!).

Hugs,Elizabeth
