I’ve heard it said that ‘wisdom comes with age- sometimes age comes by itself.’ You have gracefully accomplished both. Happy Birthday Beth!

Could recommend you take your glasses on before you look in the mirror – your reflection looks good – you would not regret the view… 😀 😀 😀

Happy Birthday.

Penblwydd Hapus Beth. I don’t think you have to worry about looking in the mirror whilst wearing glasses for a long time yet.

Happy birthday Beth!!!! I just finished watching THE CROWN on Netflix. There is part where Winston Churchill is yelling at the artist who painted his portrait. He demanded to know why the artist was so cruel. The artist was shocked. He said that AGE is cruel, he wasn’t. Any way, that thought just came to mind!

I’s wise to find things to love about that which we have no control and are inevitable, such as aging. Happy Birthday, Beth. I love that you were blessed with becoming another year older, and we were blessed that you did.
