75th Birthday CARD Highlights...

I love to receive snail mail and, thanks to my daughter who invited my friends to send cards, I received 75+ cards for my 75th birthday this year. 

  • Birthday paper cards are special and are filled with smiles, love and happy memories.
  • A Stash “Christmas in Paris” tea bag was included in one card. I can share a cup of the senders favorite tea. 
  • Enjoy the little things.
  • Beautiful hand made cards are also patterns that I can later use.
  • A hand delivered, hand made card was a wonderful surprise from a friend I hadn’t seen in years. It also included a real live hug! 
  • I’m not getting old, I’m getting awesome.
  • A Starbuck’s gift card included in the card when the sender is too far away to have coffee with.
  • My times are in His hands - my early years, my middle years, and my later years. No time is better or greater than another, for all of my years work together in God’s marvelous plan for my life. (Roy Lessin)
  • I’m older, so what? I only get better…at kicking time’s butt!
  • God amazes me with His grace and sprinkles my days with miracles. 
  • Cards filled with birthday wishes for days full of love, years full of joy and a heart full of happiness, laughter, lasting friendships, amazing memories, hope, peace, faith, happy surprises.
  • I love the sparkly cards and the trail of sparkle they leave behind. 
  • Personal notes filled with love, memories, encouraging words.
  • 3/4 of a century looks better expressed as a DIAMOND MILESTONE.
  • A shaker card filled with sequins reminds me to “Scatter Joy.”
  • Don’t count the birthdays….treasure the memories.
  • The more birthdays you have, the more memories you make. 
  • Gift cards & fun stickers tucked inside cards.
  • An acrostic of my name:  Kind, Authentic, Tender hearted, Helpul, Young at heart
  • A year of new adventures.
  • I’m not getting any older this year, heck, I was already old last year.  😂  
  • If wisdom comes with AGE…I must be one heck of a smart ass by now! 🤣
  • It’s a blessing being able to look back and count all the odds I’ve beaten, people I’ve loved, and joys I’ve experienced in my life so far.
  • Appreciate how much living it took to arrive where I am today (#75).
  • It warmed my heart to read: “Happy Birthday to a wonderful Aunt…who holds a special place in my heart.” 
  • A list of 75 Truths I love about you (ways and reasons I’m grateful for you) from a dear friend, has been so fun and enlightening to read. 
  • Age is nothing but a State of Mind.
  • I’m not old…I’ve just been young for a very long time. 
Many thanks to all who sent cards, AND texts. 
I'm overwhelmed with your expressions of love.
