let’s celebrate life
{an invitation}
This November clematis was one of the last gifts
from my garden this year.
Two days ago, a heron flew over my house through a light snow.
This morning, three goldfinch stopped by my window feeder.
Life is full of surprises, gifts, moments.
And the older I get, the more these things feel like treasures.
Being alive feels like a privilege.
Breathing in the crisp fall air on a morning that’s
using frost as a blanket is all I need.
In less than two weeks, on November 27th, I am turning 50.
Fifty!
That seems like a number worth celebrating.
And so, I invite you to join me on that day in a celebration
of life, here, with a blog-link party.
Share how you celebrate life, in any format you wish,
a post, a photo, a poem, a song… and then
come back here and add your link.
Let’s celebrate life, together.
Okay?

Thank you so much for including your ‘virtual’ friends in your party. I will be there with the parade – Pegasus won’t shut up about how much he wants to meet you and whether he should be white or black or maybe even a deep shade of purple for the occasion. Mythical beasts, sheesh, though I did ask him if my party dress makes my vocabulary look bigger. Yes, yes, yes! I’ll bring a bottle of enthusiasm and some exceptional chocolate.
