A Birthday

 Birthdays are wonderful.

Especially when they are someone else's.

I adore watching someone on their special day.

But.......today is my birthday.

My phone has been buzzing (text messages) since 6:30 this morning 

and I am in awe of the love 

coming to me today.

Thank you. 

Thank you for remembering me, 

sharing the love in your heart 

and reminding me how awesome

 my friends and family truly are.

Larry has been celebrating me all week. 

He cooked dinner for me on Sunday,

 sent me the most beautiful flowers,

made a donation to Team Believe 

(Komen) and each time he walks past me, 

he says Happy Birthday and kisses my cheek.

There are two great days in a person’s life – the day we are born and the day we discover why.

It really feels like a birthday today.

Here is to 72 years.

Love you beyond the moon.

Sunday Dinner

It has been a long couple of weeks here at The Cottage, but we are managing just fine.

The weather has been wonky, and I am getting a few summer ART projects done.

Larry cooked Sunday dinner for us. It was fantastic.

(He also sent me the flowers that are on the table)

I wish you a happy day.

Love you beyond the moon.

 We had a visitor on Saturday.

He spent most of the day in our back garden 

and visited with Larry before leaving 

to go back to his home.

Happy Monday.

Love you beyond the moon.

The next few days will be interesting.

Above is my reading for this week.

I will not show you the other cards,

 as they reflect the same thoughts...

It is raining here this morning 

and I am listening to 

Nat King Cole.

I am dressed to go into Dallas and visit the 

Museum of Biblical Arts.(Link Below)

May your day be a happy one.

Love you beyond the moon.

About Love

Photo: The 4 Hearts by Robin-oil on canvas

When we are feeling unloved, depressed and empty inside, finding someone to give us love is not really the solution.
What is helpful is to love someone else
totally and with no expectations.
That love, then, is simultaneously given to ourselves.
The other person doesn't have to change or give us anything.
~Gerald Jampolsky~

I love the term NO EXPECTATIONS.
Don't you?

Love you beyond the moon.

Walking

Yesterday, my mental health walk 

was amazingly beautiful.

 I did not resist taking this picture...

because I wanted to remember 

how the clouds looked and 

how wonderful my walk was.

Blessings come in many forms.

Love you beyond the moon.
