When I was one I’d just begun,
When I was two I was nearly new,
When I was three I was hardly me,
When I was four I was not much more,
When I was five I was barely alive,
But now I am six! As clever as clever!
And I think I’ll stay six now for ever and ever!
~ A. A. Milne, Now We Are Six
Many people who love you will try, but no one can celebrate your birthday exactly the way you need for it to be observed. That’s because no one really knows the year you’ve just completed; no one else has lived it….
Your husband, lover, children, friends, and co-workers can be aware of recent events that have unfolded in your life, but only your authentic self knows how deeply these events reverberated…
~ A Birthday Ritual, by Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance
This year, more than ever, I offer my deepest thanks and appreciation for each of you, my dear readers.
And I bow down, and give heartfelt thanks to our Holy Ones, for the profound gift of being here still, every day — here with my beloveds on this lush, shining blue planet.
Blessed be.
Dear Beth,
Wishing you the most wonderful day! I am sure you will enjoy every moment. Happy Birthday!
All the best,
Kate
Happy Birthday, dear Beth! And Many Happy Returns of the Day, as Pooh Bear would say. I’m so glad that you are here with us. Wishing you many Bright Blessings. (P.S.: I too grew up with Pooh. Also the Wind in the Willows.)
Love and hugs,
Nígeala
Happy Birthday to you! And many more!
Thank you my dear ones. I love seeing you posting here (since I am very wary of regular social media, as you probably know).
Nígeala — I love Wind in the Willows, too! Did you ever see my Enchantment main page? I adore that illustration of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Happy happy birthing season…many wishes for joy, dee~light & your heart’s desire!
Joanne
