This is one of the cards I have already received for my birthday which is today, November 16!!!! I just loved the craziness of it and thought it was the perfect picture to announce my b'day!!! (Hope I didn't scare anyone....lol!!!!) I have always been a person who loves birthdays. It is such a great time to see friends and enjoy time together. Somehow in our busy lives, we sometimes need a reason to get together. And....I am one of those lucky ones who is not bothered by revealing my age, which is a good thing today.Well.....this is a significant birthday.....my 60th!!! The celebration has already been going on for several days and it will continue for a couple of weeks. During the last week, friends had me over for dinner, another friend and I went to lunch. Cards and gifts have arrived from friends both near and far. AND....I have other events to look forward to. I am so very blessed to have a wide and wonderful 'net' of friends who are there for me in the good times AND in the more challenging days.
My wish for all of you is that you too are blessed with people in your life who truly love and support you throughout life's joys and challenges.
I will start my day in the pool today and then let the day develop from there.
I'm sixty years of age. That's 16 Celsius.

You're not sixty. You are 18 with 42 years of experience.
