A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

Thoughts from my home to yours

Happy Birthday to me!

I started a long post following up our discussion about teens and high school when my husband surprised me with breakfast treats this morning for my 46th birthday. So needless to say, I ditched the post and ate Walnut Braided Pastry with hot tea. Now I’ve got to run to Liam’s math tutoring lesson so the aforementioned post will have to be put on ice until I get back.

I can’t believe I’m on the back side of the forties! I still think I graduated from college, oh, say just a few years ago. 🙂 Hugs to all of you wonderful families who’ve made my forties rich.

See you later today.

    Happy Birthday! The back side (or is that backside, hmmm) of 40 has been good to me. I hope you find it so as well! All the best.

    Wishing you a year full of joyous adventure!! It was fun to see a picture of you that was big enough to really see! You do look great! I am 46 and also feel like I didn’t graduate college so long ago. Actually, didn’t you just recently graduate again? Thank you for all the work you do. Btw, how do you do it all? Do you sleep? SMiles!!
