Happy birthday! I like all three of those hairstyles. You managed to look like every decade was styled for you.

Jan, you have traversed the journey of life, events, reality, and choices opened to us. You bring to each the choices of life that are set before us.

Let us go forward into our inner journey and find the peace that lies within the soul of each person. Blessings.

Happy Birthday, dear friend. You are always a gift! Grateful for the thoughts you are willing to share that help me dig a little deeper and allow me to look at things in a different way. Thank you also for introducing me to Brian Andreas! I’m hooked! ❤️

A belated happy birthday to you! And thank you for the Brian Andreas images. They are deeply delightful.

P.S. I don't expect I'll ever feel adult 100% of the time. All the previous me's I've been assert themselves periodically, and I frequently wonder who thought it was a good idea to put me (practically a baby!) in charge of all of this. I'm aiming for a solid B-grade to my adulthood. Let's say 85%. That seems more than reasonable.

Ah! I love that! Yes, may all our other selves always be present. My child is often much wiser than my current age - whatever that is. I just need to hang out with her more.

Glad for your birthday. Hope it fills you with enough. I reached that stage several years ago and now just keep working on my intentions and at creating a greater good in our world using the gifts given and sustained as crystalized intelligence. It is enough and brings joy. Blessings and ll good freind.
