Ah yes, I remember it well - and remember feeling old at the time, for a moment or two. But that time was a while ago, and I no longer feel that old. (Just like you, I suspect.)
59 years?! 59 years of living. Years packed full to the brim from 1 to 59. Still a lot of time to pack many more things in, although perhaps we choose more carefully at this stage. Like Ms. Joseph says, we now get to pack only the things we truly want. I'm sure you will choose well, Sabine.
Thank you for all the lovely things you share with us in your blog. It's a joy to read you and get to know you. I look forward to all the posts to come.
Happy Birthday to you ~~ Sabine, the wonderful writer.
Yes. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, dear. And I will always be older than you.
Happy birthday to you, Sabine. Here's to wearing purple!

ReplyDeleteIt's not so terrible, getting old - our bodies wrinkle, but we're fine as long as our minds insist we are still about 30!
ReplyDeleteHappy day! I'm almost a decade ahead of you and still kicking!
ReplyDeleteI love that poem...
happy birthday, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Sabine at 59! We're all the same age. We were just born at different times (-:
