me at 18 yrs
"Over the years, my body has not gotten firmer. Just the opposite in fact. But when I feel fattest and flabbiest and most repulsive, I try to remember that gravity speaks; also, that no one needs that plastic-body perfection from women of age and substance. Also, that I do not live in my thighs or in my droopy butt. I live in joy and motion and cover-ups. I live in the nourishment of food and the sun and the warmth of the people who love me!!!"Well said dear Anne Lamott!! LOve, lOVe LOvE this lady/author!! Love everything shes ever written!!

Happy Birthday mom! You are truely the best! You are my inspiration and I love you!
Hardly a defense, since you didn't get any acknowledgment then either, but I had your birthday on my calendar on June 12! and your anniversary on the 14th. I will fix that right now. And let me say – happy happy birthday!
Happy B day mommy! You are the greatest 50 year old lady Ive meet. Love you mom. Rob
Happy Birthday, dear friend! I hope you have a wonderful day. You are one of the coolest mom's and women I know. It is women like you that make me grateful that I get to be one too. You are wonderful and I really do wish you the very best Bday wishes!!!
Love, Linda
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May it ring from the surround red rocks all year long just for you!
Happy Birthday! We love you!
Silly me! This whole week I haven't even looked at the DATES on the calendar - just the days. You know, today is Tuesday so I have to do this, today is Thursday and I have to do ....
So I missed the 23rd and your very big B-day! (And I haven't looked at your blog till today either...)
I'm glad you had a wonderful day. Mine wasn't so magical - but the day did take me to some magical places!
Loved your quote from Anne Lamott. A great reminder for me as I look in the mirror and wonder whose backside that is. It certainly is'nt MINE!
Love you - and glad you had such a fantastic karma filled day.
