Several months ago my oldest granddaughter asked how old I would be on my next birthday. When I told her, she gasped and said, ‘I didn’t know you were going to be that old!’ To be honest, I hadn’t felt that old until that moment. When seen through the eyes of a young teen, the age I am now must seem hard to comprehend. What I didn’t tell her was that it seems like just yesterday I was where she is in life and I, too, thought I would never get to be that age. And I also didn’t say that time goes so fast – something I heard when I was young and didn’t comprehend – and, suddenly, here I am.
Well, today I am that age! And in many ways I don’t feel a whole lot older than I did all those years ago. I just feel wiser! And happy - and content - and satisfied to be exactly where I am. I see things so much differently. I think I feel things much deeper and I hope I love a whole lot more! I’m glad – oh, so glad – that I have made it to this place in my life. You see, my friends, today is my birthday and I am so happy to tell you my age. I have finally reached that age!
(The beautiful miniature yellow roses shown above were a gift from my sweetheart. He knows they are my favorite!)
Happy Birthday Adrienne. Your roses are gorgeous. Have a beautiful joyful celebration showered with blessings.

ReplyDeleteOld is very relative....just ask our Biblical forefathers. LOL

Happy Birthday!!!! I don't think any of us feel "old" and age is just a number. You look super and the roses are fantastic. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Adrienne - and may you have many, many more! Every year I think "this is the very best age to be" and yet when I have a birthday I think the same thing about that age. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Adrienne! Remember, you're only as old as you feel...on the inside:>)
ReplyDeleteHi Adrienne. It's been a while since I've had a chance to stop by and say hello so I am so glad my timing was perfect to wish you a happy birthday! I, too, will have a birthday in a few weeks. I can't believe how fast the years have passed! Quite frankly, I'm at the point where I wish I had the option of subtracting years instead of adding them. lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day and here's to many, many more. :)
Happy Birthday Adrienne!! It is kind of a surprise to be this age. I remember when I thought 30 was old! Now I think of 30 as still being nearly a kid!*winks* Lol! Vanna
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!! I am "old" too, but I refuse to believe it...lol
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny

ReplyDeleteI hope you had a spectacular day and celebrate all month long. Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I'm sorry I missed it. Aug 3rd is my grandson, Caden's, birthday too, he was five!
ReplyDeleteI also can't believe how old I am, but it's better than the alternative!
Haven't heard from you in a long time, I see you on lots of other blogs.

Happy Belated Birthday!!! I hope you had a great one with those you love. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great birthday my friend. Mine is on the second and that is the day we flew to California for vacation. We're having a wonderful time. Hope all is well with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne, I hope you had a very blessed birthday. Your roses are beautiful and you are looking quite good for 'that age'. Ah, age is relative isn't it? XO sweet friend.
