... Last day. Can't return to the days of youth except in dream and memory. Siiggghhhh. A year older. Don't tell me: body shouts it from white topped roof, GEE yer ... a n c i e n t. Thanks loads. Rusted hinges that once were joints pop with age. Don't remind -- I know. Birthdays used to be fun; now that I've matured (like fine wine?), sometimes want to turn back the clock to when things were ... what's the word ... simpler. Ain't gonna happen 'less plastic surgeon does it. Nah. Original parts still work -- maybe not as well, but they're mine. Thank God. I wasn't expected to live. Look where I am now, thanks to His Grace. The warranty hasn't expired, 'least not yet. Forty eight years! Okay, tomorrow -- don't rush things, okay? STILL forty seven. Today, anyway ......
Good write, Karla. Sort of looking back and wishing....yet, you will get to turn a page and live a little longer. "They" say, "Life's a bitch, then you live again."
U are both still spring chickens, a mere year older than me, teehee.
I sent U both a little something via airmail....Ed said he ate it, but psssst I think he's just kidding...or maybe he's not!
In any case, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Kaz n Karla, HUGS (((((((()))))))
Yer M8 in OZ Chezza ;)
A very Happy Birthday to you and Karen! May your day be bright and your wishes come true! You both deserve a most splendid day of rest, relaxation and peace! A day full of happiness and laughter!
WISH I was forty-eight! :) Could remember that far back! :)
Actually, I am lying. To me, every age has its joys. . .only they are greater as you go along. I am such a child, age doesn't have much effect. Okaaaaaaaay, my bones creak a bit. Got bags under the bags under my eyes. But Child, the best of us is i n s i d e. 's'TRUE !!! With your spirit, your spunk, your smarts, your talent, your creativity, your love for nature, your wit. . .don't tell ME an 8 instead of a 7
matters one whit. Younger'n SPRING, my friend. As refreshing!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pea Hoothinksyor Thecatspeejays
You are right my dear friend...but I agree with Rebecca we are as old as we feel...even though my knees may crack and pop at times when I kneel, and it's not as easy to get up from a kneeling position and I may have a few more gray hairs...I am still the same at heart as I am sure you are too my friend...your write touched home with all of us...I too have an upcoming birthday...I'll tell you my age then, but I'm not far behind you...Just in case I don't get to tell you tomorrow....HAPPY BIRTHDAY! God bless, my dear friend....
Blessings,
Joyce B.
Please send my love to Karen as well as yourself!
Have a Wonderful Birthday! You are only as old as you feel!
I just recently had my 37th birthday this early June.
I feel Ancient!(smile)

Sometimes I think God makes us believe we aren't "supposed" to live just to make the other's feel the miracles that abound when we do. You ARE loved.

Happy birth day to You and your lovely twin sister Karen. Don't worry about the age factor. You are still young, sharp, smart and strong. You are not still at old age. You are at maturity age: in all aspects.
Afterall, age is a just number. We can manipulate the number 48 as 4 and 8. The dividend is 2 (8/4). The difference is 4 (8-4). The sum is 12 (8+4). The product is 32 (8x4). And if you reverse the digit order it becomes 84.
Keep enjoying life. Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuu.
Happy Birthday Karla! I put a blurb on my poem today for you and Karen;-) great poem you wrote! I'm sure we all can relate, even if we don't want to. Hate to rock your boat but it doesn't get easier;-)
Enjoy your day and many more good ones to come. May you be blessed with Creator's best!
I surely can identify with these feelings. I am a bit older than you but people keep telling me that I never grew up and I don't "feel" older than last year. However, when I think about it, such as your poem makes me think; I'd rather not think about it. Thank you, Karla. Amour et paix. Ton ami de la C-B, Canada,
Régis

Forty eight!!! You're still young. Have a hppy birthday and forget the past.
first let me say, Happy Birthday to the two of you..
This wonderful little poem of your was both humorous and frank about the subject of getting older.
Remember this though....age is simply a matter of maind...if you don't mind, it don't matter.
You can still do all those things at forty eight you did at twenty eight...maybe not as often and perhaps a bit slower...but going slower is often times a good thing...heheheheheh.
Wonderful ode to the joys of turning older; God blessed me with you, and I want to wish you the happiest birthday ever!! Happy birthday, dear twin! I love you with all my heart and soul!
I am grateful that God let us live this long; it could have very easily gone the other way; glad it didn't! Every day we wake up breathing is a good day!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D
Very well written; hope your day is happy; you deserve to celebrate! :) Have fun, you young whippersnapper! :) Celebrate!!
