This is what... - a photo on Flickriver

This is what...

            ... another year older looks like!  ;D

Some may think I celebrate my birthday a little too much (the Mr. calls September "the birthday" month). But having lost loved ones far too soon, I take a different approach to each passing year, which I believe are each a precious gift from God that we should make the most of!

So I am continuing my celebrations with this silly selfie and sharing it with you.

Now please let me pass my celebrations on:  
promise me you'll do one kind thing for yourself today...
still that voice of negative self-criticism, have that piece of fine chocolate, tell yourself "good job!"... or just stop and pet a dog because his fur looks so soft.

The world will wait, as you catch up, with a smile on your face!

Couldn't have come up with a blue Monday shot, if I tried today.

But, Happy Blue Monday, all the same! xx

birthday

as for me, I am happier than I have ever been

youth is over-rated

you get to a point where you know and like yourself and you can help others to do the same

be good to yourselves, my friend

forgive others and yourself

every success comes with lots of failures or as I like to call them - false starts

it's never too late to decide who you want to be when you grow up

and then grow up

grace is a gift for all of us

open your heart and find love, love, love

first day of the rest of my not-so-young life

yes, I am the oldest I have ever been, but also, the youngest I will ever be from this day forward

taking a bit of a staycation this week

rosy outlook

I want to hear about the nice things you did for yourself today

I'll be checking up tomorrow!

this is what another year older looks like!

didn't REALLY think I was gonna tell you my age =D
