Thank you, Marjo!

I haven't been able to post anything for the past 2 days, so this is a bit late...

Have I told you how much I love getting real mail? Snail mail, as BumbleBri calls it :) Yes, I think I have... so you can imagine how happy I was to open my mailbox and find this:

A birthday present from Marjo! And it got here right on the day she had her 2nd chemo treatment...

Now isn't this sweet? A tulip pen from Holland, some beautiful crochet flowers and a sweet birthday card...

(You got me to start craving a new WIP... a shawl or scarf where I can pin your flowers! And I think I know exactly what pattern :) )

Thank you, my dear friend!

48

It's official, I'm 48. 

It's such an odd feeling! 

As a child I thought a 48 year old person was... errhhhh... old... and probably a grandma...

As the years have passed this feeling has been continuosly changing and now I totally understand my 94 year old Grandma when she talked about that "old lady" at the nursing home who was 70... 

Age is definitely in our mind and in our heart, not in the years that have gone by. 

I am not a grandma (thank goodness!!! my son is still too young for that!) and I definitely don't feel or behave old :)

And I am so happy to be 48 and alive and well! 

I am such a lucky person, my health is back, my family is big and we all care for each other, I have a job I like (even though I'll need to relearn when I go back, I've been away for so long) and I appreciate all of life's gifts and beauty... and I have met so many wonderful people here!

So... here's a little gift from me to you, and a big THANK YOU for all your support through rough times these past few months!

It wouldn't be the same without you :)
