I've been thinking about 39 for a while now. There are several ways to think of this age--I could be pouty and say this is my "last" birthday, never adding another number to 39 each year after this. I'm not so narcissistic as to be that way.
I could also say that I've been three years old 13 times. Not sure that's much fun, though.
I could be thirteen 3 times. Nope--teen years, *shudder*--I don't want to relive those.
I'm one less than forty. I'm one day younger than Rachael Ray. I'm now older than my sister-in-law (and she will most certainly stop by my blog to remind me!)
I was born in a year that was hugely pivotal for this country, 1968. I'm hoping I've had the same force of impact on someone else's life, in a good way.
Doing nothing today at all--same stuff, different day--it's all different when you get older, isn't it?

Happy Happy Birthday... you're not getting older, just better...wait until you catch up with me.. oh that's right you never will!
Happy Birthday Anne!
And to catch up with previous posts:--best wishes to your sweet daughter. And more thoughts and prayers coming your way with everything else. God bless. (But so glad Marty is closer now.)
Happy birthday, Anne...and many more to come. Prayers still coming your way, and I'm so glad your husband is closer to home.
When you hit 40 just start adding the digits together and you'll never be older than a single digit. 4+0 = 4, 4+1 =5, and so one for each decade. I love it. Rebecca

I suck. I thought your birthday was TODAY! MAN!!! Going to fix my calendar now! You'll be older than me for about, what....two weeks????? Joining the ranks of 13's 3 times myself very soon. Still love you, even though you're old now. :D KISSES!!!!

Happy Birthday Anne! 39 ia still considered a youngster. Just remember-40 is the new 20. Life is like fine wine, It just gets better with age!
Happy Birthday, indeed! My best friend's birthday is this day as well. I hope you Marty is healing and rehabing well. So sorry that I didn't say something sooner...I've been on my surgery rotation and have be lax in commenting.
Dang, I forgot (I've had my head up my rear the past few days..)and I'm sorry that I did not wish you a Happy Birthday~ so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNE!!~ and many, many more :)
Belated Happy Birthday to you. I'm enjoying being 40 so far, it's not so bad! So you can still look forward to next year and your 40th!
Glad to hear that things are going the right direction with Marty, been praying for you.
happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Anne. You have a nice blog. Just came across to say Hello. I never worry about age anymore. It's how you feel inside that matters. It's only numbers! I'm 41 but don't feel that different from when I was in my twenties!
Happy birthday! Wow, 7 kids, hats off to you!
Happy Birthday! I always like to celebrate my birthdays for several days. that somehow ensures both that I will have lots of fabulous food, and that at some point I have a silent moment for reflection to myself.
