Celebrating 50: Ode to a Crone

I had a fun time collecting these 50 images in honor of the crone. The pics range from quotes to symbols to stars. It's a great stage. Here's the Pinterest link. And here are a few as a preview...

Poetry Friday: Celebrating Fifty

 
Celebrating Fifty
 
Blessed to kick high and
low, toes tapping through fifty
years into the next.

Celebrating 50 today with a nod to my bear. My father brought her to me in the hospital the day I was born. A sweet birthday companion!

Celebrating 50: with Dylan Thomas

Ran across "A Poem in October" by Dylan Thomas. You can read the entire poem here, but I'll share a few lines of the beauty. Thanks for celebrating with me!

My birthday began with the water-
Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name
Above the farms and the white horses
And I rose
In rainy autumn
And walked abroad in a shower of all my days.



Celebrating 50: 50 Dresses

It was fun to sieve through Pinterest and find 50 dresses that made an impact on me. From Wilma Flintstone to Lucille Ball to Nike of Samothrace, these designs filtered into my life. Hope you enjoy the collection and it sparks thoughts of dresses that mattered to you!

50th Birthday Month

50th Birthday Month

 
 
 
I'm turning 50 on September 14th! In celebration, I thought to post throughout the month, significant items from 1964 in my life, as well as collections of 50. It's a way to stop and remember and give thanks for 50 blessed years.

My plan is to round up my posts from various social media outlets here. Hope you have time to drop by and toot a party favor with me. It's a H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y! xox
