Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeee....

Today I turn the big 4-0.

Today's image shows moi at the Wellfleet, Massachusetts, Audubon Nature Sanctuary last October. I am in my favorite fall ensemble--my cozy, gray, moth-nibbled sweater and plush blue velvet scarf. So warm when there is a Fall nip in the air! (I love the Fall--it is my favorite season).

I love the beauty and magic of Cape Cod in the Fall. This picture always makes me smile.

Some reflections as I say goodbye to my thirties:

Do not rely on a paycheck for happiness.
Breathe.
Surround yourself with good, honest people who enrich your life
"This above all, to thine own self be true."
Always take time to appreciate those you love.
Breathe!
It's all good.--(Thanks, Mary. I miss you.)
Every once in a while, put on that old K-Tel disco record and spin around the living room...

and...

don't be afraid to put purple AND pink in your hair.

Many thanks to my friends, family and customers---have some cake today! You are the BEST.

Thanks for encouraging and supporting this happy artist!


very best wishes to all of you!
Helen
