I turned another year older yesterday and I couldn’t be happier about it! May Your Joy Be Full.
May Your Joy Be Full
With all my recent travels I feel like I’ve been celebrating my birthday all month long.
There’s been an opportunity for dancing, merriment, and flowers.
“Spring” by Lawerence Alma-Tadema, c. 1894
Delightfully restful naps.
“Mischief and Repose” by John William Godward, c. 1895
As well as wonderfully good things to eat.
“Fruit Piece” by Jan van Huysum Fruit Piece, c. 1722.
Sure, there was an enormous pile of mail and laundry to contend with upon my return.
“The Laundress” by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, c. 1761.
But there is a delight in the everyday. So I’ve decided to just keep on celebrating.
Life is too good not to.
