My birthday was the other day.
So this week I like ME!
I like being a wise old crone.
I like being a wife, and a mother, and a grandmother.
This is me in my imagination :)
I like being comfortable with who I am.
With each passing year, I feel more serenity and acceptance. I feel less obligation to please others at the expense of my own spirit. I value the peace and patience that this widening view of life allows me to enjoy.
I feel more complete.
This is me for real

Indeed! Hope your trip is going well.
Hi Jeanne! Aww, getting older really is getting better. More accepting, not only of ourselves but of others. At least I would like to think that - sometimes the news proves me very wrong. ~smile~ Roseanne
Such good thoughts! I am working on that self acceptance, too. You wouldn't think it would take 65 years, lol! Happy Birthday!
What a great post. Love that first photo. Yes, it's amazing how long it takes to just accepting ourselves and others! Have a great day.

I have goosebumps... I love the idea of your top picture too! The sentence "I feel less obligation to please others at the expense of my own spirit" is ab fab. Something to practice and understand. I'm grateful you joined us, you add so much to the group! LeeAnna
Wishing you a very happy Birthday!!! I'm so happy you feel so comfortable in your own skin. That's one of my goals!
Awesome post. People seem to be drawn to you when you are at peace and content with life.
Another Leo! Happy birthday and enjoy another trip around the sun. :-)
