Today is my birthday and I am taking the day off from blogging to celebrate! Last night I was treated to a wonderful dinner with a group of friends from school, we have a tradition and have been doing this for years, it was so wonderful and I was showered with some amazing gifts! Today I am celebrating with friends during the day and my family at night. Some have asked how old I am. Lets just say I am between 20 and 50 🙂 ?I don’t get hung up on age, I think age is just a number and its much more about how you feel and think,? many days I feel about 35, and that suits me just fine. Some of my favorite quotes about age are below and that’s my post for today. ?
The time I spend with family and friends means so much, because ?I know whatever they plan, ?it will be lovely and from the heart, as I am blessed to have some truly one of a kind friends and a very special?family.?And this year….I can add a fabulous group of ?blogging?friends and followers to the reasons I feel blessed!
Age is just a number.? Mine is unlisted.? ~Author Unknown
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.? ~Chili Davis
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.? ~Herbert Asquith
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.? ~Mark Twain,
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.? ~Victor Hugo
Age is an issue of mind over matter.? If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.? ~Mark Twain
It’s important to have a twinkle in your wrinkle.? ~Author Unknown
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.??~Henry Ford

Happy Birthday, Tina!! Starting last night and being with friends and loved ones today and tonight is wonderful. I love the quotes. By the way, my Dad was ALWAYS 29. He was a hoot. Your post made me think of him and smile!! Hugs, Jan
Tina, wishing you a very happy happy birthday. You do an such an unparaelleled job on your blog and delivering one great post after another, I am glad you are taking “the day off” to enjoy with family and friends. Wishing you an abundance of birthday blessings!
Happy Birthday, Tina! I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying this special occasion with family and friends. May it be a day that’s filled with love and laughter!
Just want to wish you the happiest of birthdays. I see you give all you do 100% and I am a big fan of yours and your blog. You inspire me on a daily basis. So thank you for that gift that you have given to me and so many others. Really hope you have a great day, sounds like whatever you are doing its going to be with those you love and that is what counts. Happy Birthday, Tina
Happy birthday to you! Tina, I hope you enjoy a fabulous day, it sounds like you are off to a great start. Whar could be better than sharing your time and special day with friends and family? While you are celebrating, toast yourself for bring your dream house to life and for the joy, friendship and beauty that you bring to us everyday! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful dream.
Happy birthday and best wishes for a wonderful and happy year, Elizabeth
Sorry Tina- if you have Mac with Lion you know that it writes sentences for you. Same with iPhone. That was supposed to say of fun, not an fakes, lol. Will at least it didn’t change it to catheter like it did for one friend. Teresa xoxo
Great quotes and you my friend, deserve all the happiness, good fortune and joy because you are a special person who has touched a lot of lives! Your blog is just amazing and its a bit of an addiction too:) So agree age really is just a number, nothing else and I always say if you are breathing, have 2 legs and 2 arms you can do just about anything. I tend to be one of “jump in” and try new things and have become braver the older I get! Turned 45 a few months ago and finally went deep sea scuba diving (had been a fear but my husband loves it) Didn’t really love it but was proud to try it, and I am hoping to run my first marathon for my 50th! H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y!!!!
Happy birthday Tina!! Age doesn’t matter! I turned 50 this year (october) and that was the push to start my blog and push myself even further. We are only as old as we let ourselves be! I think I am in my 30’s and sometimes when I look in the mirror I wonder who on earth that lady is … because in my mind I am way younger and cuter … so I just ignore that lady and move on!!! Best wishes to you and so happy I met you!
You are right – the number does not matter – I am now 49 forever.. one of my young granddaughters told me that I am going to catch up with her mom soon!!!:)
Happy Birthday Tina! You are a beautiful woman and your writing is full of energy and vitality! This is going to be a great year for you! Can’t you just feel it? Enjoy your day!
Wishing you the happiest! I hope that you have a beautiful, festive day with friends and family, and that the coming year brings you more blessing that you can count! Happy Day, Tina!
How special this day begins with true joy in your heart. On my early walk (4:00 a.m) this morning I looked up because I saw a shooting star…made a wish. Then during my walk I ask for grace and flavor for a whole list of friends and family during this holiday.
Then as I ended my list another star shot across the sky and I’ve never experienced two shooting stars during a morning walk. My husband and I both remarked how this star was in a hurry to get across the sky and we were amazed and wondered where it was going. Now we know why it is for a Birthday Gal named Tina of course!
From our California sky shooting stars over to you Tina in New York may all your dreams come true. Happy Birthday to you…with many more! Make lots more wishes too!
Tina! Happy Birthday! My son turns 23 (can’t believe it) on the 17th. Busy month! You have a wonderful attitude. I am 52 and love it! The wisdom we gain with our years is something that no 20 or 30 something can match! Enjoy your birthday week. You have so much to look forward to!
Happy happy Bday sweet Tina, I know you are out having a fun day and I am so glad!! I love all the quotes. I have a saying too. I don’t mind aging, it is a natural process of life, but and a big but, I refuse to become OLD!!! With that I am singing you a happy Birthday to YOU!!♪♫♪♫ xo Kathysue

May every one of your birthday wishes come true, make sure you eat something decadent and wonderful…if not your birthday then when? I always indulge in something really really bad (like a hot fudge sundae or a Chocolate molten cake…..) Enjoy and Happy birthday!

TINA, WISHING YOU THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS, LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT AGE AND ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL. YOU ARE A GAL AFTER MY OWN HEART! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
We are in the middle of our move and it’s all a bit chaotic as you can imagine. Still got painters crawling over the house, half my kitchen is still missing and the floor isn’t done upstairs. No blinds or curtains, lights not switching on, no fences to keep in the kids, but hey we’re in ! Hope you have a great birthday and get utterly spoilt by your family. You deserve to be treated like a Queen!
Happy Birthday! This post came at such a great time…I’m feeling especially old today so I truly appreciate the quotes. They’re fabulous. Wishing you the best Birthday ever…the best is yet to come!! xo Sharon
I love it when I find someone with the same birthdate as mine! My family just left and we sang and opened gifts. So fun, Happy Birthday to you and me 🙂
Well, my birthday is on the 16th so we must have similar traits – good to know! I will see my siblings (I also share my birthday with one of my sisters who is 2 years younger) and we are in the 5th year of celebrating Sagittarian birthdays in the neighborhood (with 3 others born in the same week)..a great month! Belated birthday wishes!
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear sweet Tina………Happy Birthday to you!!!!!! I can’t believe I missed your birthday!!!! I’ve been so busy with school activities I didn’t get to read any blogs yesterday!!! If we lived closer you know I would be there celebrating with you!

(I turned 50 last month, and don’t mind admitting it – you’re only as old as you feel, and I certainly don’t feel as old as I thought I would at 50…)
