Siesta, Birthday Style
(35 of 50)
Just a quick moment here before kicking into the evening portion of the festivities…
I opened cards and the few packages I received just now, and there is no way to explain just how touched and moved I am for the little kindnesses I’ve received. A handmade card, a card hand-picked, a handwritten note, a scribbled note on a gorgeous postcard (or a silly one)… they are all precious to me.
The small gifts (to the giver) mean the world to me. You have NO idea. Tears sprang to my eyes each time I saw the loveliest of little things… each one was Something Wonderful.
There will be a proper accounting of these things, and the fun of receiving the cards over the last month (and I hear there are more cards to come!), but first, I need to finish celebrating, visiting and contemplating this day because it will not come again. It is a good day, one to be met with elan… so that the next day and days can be so met too.
No rest for this siesta from the 100 degree temps here today, but lots and lots of joy, laughter and love. Thank you all!
