Today Is My Birthday


Today is my Birthday. In true blogger kind of celebration, I looked up quotes from greater minds than mine.
I did lean a few things from these quotes.....but first read the clever quotes.....I will tell you my thoughts at the end of this post.

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln

A woman has the age she deserves. Coco Chanel

I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel. Elizabeth Arden

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. Henry David Thoreau

First you are young; then you are middle-aged; then you are old; then you are wonderful.
Lady Diana Cooper


People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live...[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born. letter to Otto Juliusburger Albert Einstein

Enjoy Life.........Take care of yourself.....Numbers don’t matter.....Enjoy life with Enthusiasm.....I am not Wonderful yet.....OK!!! Maybe I am Wonderful after all...In closing do as Norman Vincent Peale said ...Live your life and forget your age.

Mo'a I am honored to be first in your beautiful birthday post. I can't add anything more meaningful than those quotes above, but to say I think you've hit wonderful early.

Have a happy day and a wondrous year. That picture just says to me what life is all about.

Happiest of birthdays to a magical person.

Mo'a happy birthday, enjoy many wonderful quotes and make some up today, too. Fantastic to go from the photo of girl Mo'a to grown up Mo'a with her grandson. Every one of those quotes makes sense looking at those two photos.
