THANK YOU
It is not half so important to know as to feel."
- Rachel Carson
May 25 (yesterday) I was made to
'feel'--also to yield--so much love.
Sharing, caring, best wishes,
and love of Peeps both far away
and in a morning AA meeting room
gave new meaning to the question
How does it (life) work?
How does it (life) work?
The response, of course:
"It works just fine!"--grin!
In the usually daily bright sunshine of south Florida,
I must wear a hat--from my collection LOL!
Today, not a single hat will fit. See? All those
beautiful and kind birthday messages,
even a blog post dedication,
went right to my head.
From early morning, to a late "fancy"
Italian dinner with Anna (no wine!),
it WAS the best birthday
I have EVER enjoyed!
From this peep (me) to ALL of you Peeps,
HAPPINESS, PEACE, JOY and LOVE
always, always, always and forever!
THANK YOU!

BRIAN...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Is it safe to ask how many--assuming it is you and your bride celebrating?
ReplyDeleteOr is it the 'other'....
PEACE!
CES
Thanks you...but you were here and wished already--no! that was your BROTHER, how nice of him, I really liked that.
NO Italian Wedding cake, although that is the GOOD STUFF. Skipped desert at restaurant...bought a whole Key Lime Pie at a special bakery (cost less than ONE desert at fine Italian Bistro)
Yep, you even wrote my favorite word TSUP! I remember now! Thank you!
LADY NYO:
I'm coming! I'm coming. I'll be around to your blog, a couple posts behind, I know, I know. Just TIME!!!
(We DO have Eternity, they tell me!)
PEACE!
MITA!
ReplyDeleteHave missed your young face on these places, except for brief performances with our "FAVORITES, Bella dn Ces. But even those few glimpses are enough to keep one feeling safe--as if the world is STILL a nice place.
Thank you for coming over here, girl!
PEACE!
Happy Happy birthday ~
ReplyDeleteMay you continue to be blessed with friends and cheers ~

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! It sounds like you had a regular coronation there! So glad you had such a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteXO
You don't look any older to me!
ReplyDeleteHEAVEN!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm sure grateful for friends, family, and other miracles (sobriety, for one!)
JESSIE!
Thanks again, Oh Mistress! Hangin' around this next week sounds GOOD! In June you'll be near to Akron around the second week (Sunday,10th) when Founder's Day is celebrated. Maybe you'll meet gangs of AA "Easy Riders" going or coming to the event.
SYD!
I know that YOU know about gratitude, Sir. And I can share with you that God is so good to us during these years, I stand in awe of His works...and His work! I just wish to tell everyone. I know--"attraction, not promotion"! Anyway, such is....
OCTOBER-O-NINE!
Yeah, it is the first time I felt really REALLY "special". Don't want to feel that way too often, humility lifts away like a fog in the morning sun--and I need to keep what little I have--grin! Thanks for your comment.
PEACE!
CAROL!
My sponsor tells me--in his rough, gravely voice, and inimitable fashion, "You're not 79. You are 'IN YOUR 80TH YEAR'. AND DON'T FORGET IT!"
Thanks to you for such 'truthful comment--grin!
I am sure you are wiser by another more day.
ReplyDeleteOr you are simply too wise by now.

ReplyDeleteTruly I am not now sure what you are saying. If it were good ole sarcasm, I should recognize it, because I was a Master of that years ago.
I read your blog because you are an artist (who I admire) in photography and words. If you like it here, please return, but if not, well, why waste your time (and mine!) Guess you can tell, your comments here the past few days are neither funny nor nice, IMO!
PEACE, Friend!
CATFISH!
ReplyDeleteThank you...I have for four years found these blogs to be places of happiness, helpfulness, fun, and a stressless part of my life.
Wonder why we ALL don't just partake, and enjoy?
I love summer. Well, actually fall, Winter, and Spring, too--grin!
LINDA!
I went to your Facebook page, and also could not even fine tour wall, or pictures, or 'friends', or anything. ALSO nowhere to ask to be a friend. Funny, that you cannot find mine--everyone else daoes! Do you have everyone participating on your Face Book pages? Anyway, KAY-SIR-RAH!
I'm sorry if I missed your Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy -many- days of course! clean and sober, laughing- given all the opportunities of a warm wonderful
state; you're glass is overflowing!
Happy birthday, Steve... sorry I'm a little late. I'm so glad you had a wonderful celebration. You're right, friends mean a world to all of us, especially when we are facing challenges.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear friend, for your visits to my blog and your sweet comments. I appreciate everyone of them. You always have something positive to say, and a delightful way to encourage others. I'm sure your violin will be a great companion should you have to check in to a nursing home :-)) Maybe I will be the next door resident... the crazy lady dancing salsa and tango :-)))

I attended a friend's 22 anniversary of sobriety. I thought of you. I admire people like him and like you
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteGreat peeps deserve great gifts from life!
I am happy messages went to your head.. and your heart- hopefully!
Cheers my dear!
I am so glad that you had a wonderful day. It seems like I remember from last year that our birthdays are one day apart...mine being May 24th. Happy Belated Birthday!
