It's My Birthday

[shoemad]

Not a question.
Just saying, it's my birthday, I'm 59 and wondering where did all the years go.
Can't claim to be young any more, perhaps not even middle aged.
I'm sad for all the things I haven't done and apprehensive about the future.
Is it all downhill now?

Happy belated birthday Shoemad - you are now entered in my AB birthday book! :)

Go on and do at least one thing you wanted to do. No one knows about the future, not even the younguns.
As George Eliot said, "It's never too late to be what you might have been."

Zebo, Coldicote and quinie - do you want your upcoming birthdays recorded in my little AB birthday book? If so, I will need the dates please!

[quinie]

That's nice of you,Ann.I'll be 83 years young on 8th March.I don't often post on Chatterbank but I like to read it.

Thanks,mazie and Wharton.

Woo hoo, now on Ann's birthday list -thank you.
Yes, I've been to Vegas before and enjoyed it, there is so much to do there.
My mum has never been to America and said she'd love to go before it's too late. (see where I get my pessimism from).
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes. I'm sending you all a glass of virtual champagne.
