You're so kind to be giving away gifts for your birthday. Reminds me of a short story in the book, Zen Shorts.
Congrats to the winners.
one love.

I've been in my own little bubble for so long that I missed this. BUMMER! More importantly, I missed wishing you the happiest! Happy, happy birthday, my friend.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for being part of my life. I hope that this coming year will be filled with even more of the good things you've enjoyed last year, and some new ones too!
I love that you put this picture sideways. It really struck me, as if the sideways-ness had something to tell me - it felt like a call to reconsider things from a different perspective, or something, and like it was telling me that upside down wasn't the only other perspective to consider. Interesting!

@josiane: now you've got me wondering if i did turn it sideways. i thought i took it sideways, but maybe i turned it. so yes, lots of different perspectives to consider!
@relyn: good wishes are lovely any time - so thank you. :)
@gloria, @marcie, @tracy: thank you!
@se'lah: i've never read that book. i'll have to look for it.
@gayle: and a visit to yours always brings a smile to mine. :)
@liss: i hope i make it to your land someday. wouldn't a photo outing be fun!
@meredith, @claire, @toni: it was lovely. :)
@kirsten: i like your idea too! and i hope you enjoy the photo!
