Fifty is Nifty + Poetry Friday
Yesterday was my birthday...my 50th birthday. I am grateful to be able to celebrate another successful trip around the sun - albeit with a little more gray hair.
Bridget, happy birthday, the thought, half-century, makes me laugh. Just think of how wise you are and how beautiful those gray shades compliment life.
Thanks, Tabatha! I tried to put grond on my driver's license, but the DMV lady I had to pick either gray or blond. She said I looked more blond, so that's what I put. She became my friend that day. ;o)
Happy Birthday! I'm right on your tail....my 50th comes up next August. How did time fly so fast? I really don't feel a half century. I think poetry keeps us young! Enjoy every moment.
Happy 50th Bridget! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Catherine! Still celebrating...with poetry! =)
ReplyDeleteI think there's one word you might want to cut. OLD! You don't seem old in the slightest.
ReplyDeleteHee-hee, thank you, Liz! That's the kind of feedback I love. =)
DeleteWelcome to the club! And I love the poem. I'm glad you are celebrating your day with poetry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tricia! It's a good club with lots of distinguished members. =)
DeleteHappy Birthday, Bridget!! You're the coolest and youngest 50-year-old on the planet. :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Jama! Coming from the coolest blogger on the planet I take that as high praise. =)
DeleteI loved being fifty. I think that whole decade was pretty much loads of fun. Enjoy yourself. Happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Doraine! I'm looking forward to a whole decade of fun. =)
DeleteClever, Bridget! Happy Birthday. (But I've seen you and didn't notice one shade of grey, let alone 50!).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Violet! You're too kind - my gray is cleverly disguised as what my daughter's like to call "grond" (gray/blond). =)
DeleteBridget, happy birthday, the thought, half-century, makes me laugh. Just think of how wise you are and how beautiful those gray shades compliment life.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol! I love your perspective "those gray shades compliment life". =)
DeleteHappy happy, Bridget (you young 'un, you. It's all relative.) Your poem made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Buffy! True, it is all relative. Hopefully this is the end of my midlife crisis. =)
DeleteHappy Birthday!! Here's to the next 50!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brenda! Another 50 is what I am shooting for. =)
DeleteThat's a great milestone, here's to many more years, and many more grey years, to come! Rock them with pride - you've earned them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane! Again, I love our PF community's perspective on age and gray - rock on! =)
Delete"Grond" made me laugh. Happy Birthday! And many more!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tabatha! I tried to put grond on my driver's license, but the DMV lady I had to pick either gray or blond. She said I looked more blond, so that's what I put. She became my friend that day. ;o)
DeleteI hope you had a great day! Oh, to be 50 again! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI did, Diane, thank you! I plan to make the most of it. =)
DeleteHappy Birthday! I'm right on your tail....my 50th comes up next August. How did time fly so fast? I really don't feel a half century. I think poetry keeps us young! Enjoy every moment.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! Yes, poetry keeps us young - I love that! =)
DeleteHappy birthday! I say of my gray: I earned & learned with every one!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Keri! "Earned and learned" - the keys to life and perspective on aging. Love it! =)
