(Hubby asks, if 50 is the new 30, do you count backwards after 40? He just wants to be 42 again, because he got a cute little red convertible back then.)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-69013689617098021672008-04-04T03:33:00.000+13:002008-04-04T03:33:00.000+13:00Happy Birthday, didn't you hear that 50 is the new...Happy Birthday, didn't you hear that 50 is the new 30? <BR/><BR/>“Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” Douglas MacArthurDEEP END OF THE LOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010018190905285835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-43894847874054154842008-04-03T22:11:00.000+13:002008-04-03T22:11:00.000+13:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG!I am also happy that you discov...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG!<BR/>I am also happy that you discovered weaving before you were 50.

But I must admit, it's been a fun day. According to the book, I'm supposed to have some manic days coming up, too - can't wait. But seriously, it's been a good day.<BR/><BR/>Connie, because of my drastic life/career change in my early 40's, I think I spent the decade with more reflections, assessment, planning, and in some ways, discarding of some dreams to concentrate on the weaving, compared to how my friends in their 40's live/d, so I confess I'm hoping my 50's is a little more settled and focused, but then there is the innate me that remains unpredictable and wild, so who knows? And thanks for the complement; it's my composure (or frequent losses thereof) that makes me consider myself a rank amateur. And the maddening warp tension.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-62350482756076393942008-04-03T16:19:00.000+13:002008-04-03T16:19:00.000+13:00Happy Birthday, Meg!

My 50s have been a real sorting out time, lots of changes from one end of the decade til now. And I'm thinking my 60s will be the best. Hope you enjoy your 50s.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I love your weaving, so you have my permission to stop thinking of yourself as an amateur!Cate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-71102652040175024642008-04-03T13:35:00.000+13:002008-04-03T13:35:00.000+13:00Well, I wish you a lovely, happy, get-well-soon bi...Well, I wish you a lovely, happy, get-well-soon birthday, and I'm looking forward to your next half-century!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798842833839381977noreply@blogger.com
