Yesterday was my birthday. For the first time in a while, I didn't for one moment lament getting older. I will cherish every birthday I have from here on out. I promise. But just for the record, I am planning a huge party for the next birthday.
My sister and mother are in town so we spent the day at the Academy of Science and had lunch in Half Moon Bay. It was a lovely day. I worried a bit about the large amounts of hair that I am beginning to shed- and I know it is part of this process. I was going to call this process "ugly" but decided that it is best that I not judge it so harshly. I just cut my hair very short in anticipation of the impending loss. I will write more about hair in another post- because I think it warrants an entire discussion. Suffice it to say that the hair issue has been difficult for me. I am shedding tears for each escaping hair and I know this is to be expected.
So, my sister took this picture today at the museum and I felt it was perfect for my daily calaca. I hope you enjoy it. For more calacas- visit Rebecca's blog.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and many more!!
ReplyDeletethanks Gloria:-)
ReplyDeleteMuy feliz cumpleanos - and many, many more to come! Half Moon Bay is a wonderful place - my favorite place in that area is Moss Beach and Fitzgerald Marine Wildlife Refuge. I consider that "my" place and, if ever I moved back to the Bay Area, it would be to there. Go there and let the Pacific work her magic with you. She is so loving and can embrace you so tenderly - let her. She is healing and wondrous and oh, so fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSend kisses to the seals and the gulls for me - especially at low tide when you walk in the tide pools and view the little critters there. xoxo
Such a great photograph! and happy birthday to you. I adore birthdays and I wish you many many healthy more!
