Lookin' forward: if forty seven this much fun, forty eight is gonna be G R E A T !!
... having journey'd thru this year my own self, I think I know what I'm talkin' about: forty seven is a hard road, indeed. joints that were once spry s t i f f e n up with age; grey makes unwant'd guest appearances; the health fades along with what mind we had; but I'm here, I'm HERE, livin' and lovin', takin' time to stop and smell the roses, countin' the blessings for havin' surviv'd another year. I'm gonna dance like it's my birthday (even tho it's not), c e l e b r a t e the fact I'm a l i v e !! a verrrrrrry merry unbirthday to me and to you, as well!

You've had an AMAZING roller-coaster year, Karla, but your poetry has reaped the whirlwind and brought forth the HARVEST ! Go enjoy the fruits of your passionate labours! I'll drink to that!

All I could think of was "Don't count your chickens before they hatch;-)" Thought provoking write and I do know the feeling;-)
Love your dancing attitude, Karla!;-)
Happy un to you to Karla. I looked in the obits today, didn't see my name, so I had breakfast. The greensideup is good. Well, except for those aches and pains.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!! and to your sister too :-)
I'm hitting the big fifty this May and I feel the same way you do...it's only going to get better :-)
I was thinking the other day......isn't it about time the fashion world does a thing about beauty for the older women, showing the beauty of grey? I've never felt so good.......and everyone wants me to dye my hair.........not likely......I love it :-)

65 is much the same.
Takes humor to survive it. Thanks for the delightful laugh.

Karla,
Taking it all in stride and grace you have the right attitude for a fianl excellent years... This was joyful and wise.
Every body hates the symptoms of old age such as the stiffening of the joints. But we all like to live longer.
The weaker your joints get, the greater your wisdom.
Happiest of birthday wishes to our two favorites twins on the den. Karla and Karen hope you both celebrate the joyous occasion of another birthday and don't eat too much cake...LOL just kidding fill your boots.
Awww, Karla, this is adorable -- I can't think of a better thing to celebrate, just being alive! I enjoyed your poem very much -- Happy (Un)Birthday to you, too!
Love,
CJ
A humorous look at the world and life through my eyes.
Follow the author and his wife, as they travel the world …. several times over.
Laugh at their funny stories, self-inflicted crazy events, strange observations, wacky zoo facts and snippets
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
