MY SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY SP
This is what seventy feels like:
Waking every morning excited about learning something new each day and
going to bed every night thanking God for my wonderful life, loving family and friends,
including each of you on Pbase.

It is getting older, not growing old. I am one very blessed woman.
So you young folks, don't worry about the years...just enjoy!

My daughters got to vote on the SP…I liked the one below, they liked this one.
They just wished they could have seen me running to beat the timer and straddle the chair!







Nikon Coolpix 4500
1/60s f/3.2 at 14.0mm iso100 with Flash full exif

Hi Petesie, nice to meet you :) You have such a lovely portrait here with sweet smiles. A trace of a happy and a blessed woman :) The second photo has a very cozy and lovely lighting effect :) Gets my vote. :)

Your words brought tears to my eyes as I read it to my mom - who is a VERY young 73. She, more than anyone else, has taught me that age is irrelevant. Merry Christmas, Petesie!

Happy Birthday, Petesie! I like them both but I like the one on the bottom the best; it has a great mood to it and the darkness really enhances the light of the trees. You look great! (Hey, I see green out the window! No fair!)

Both are very good and happy birthday. You have an amazing outlook on life and, I add, the correct one. It shows in your smile.

I like them both but the one by the tree really shows your sparkle. Happy Birthday and many more, dear lady.

Your daughters made the right choice. The lighting is great in the one they chose.
Beautiful SP and your words make me smile, hope I can have the same attitude when I'm your age.

Happy Birthday, Petesie. You look so happy anyway! Great SP.
It's the life that counts in our years not the years that count in our lives.

Happy Birthday Petesie, I like the both but the lighting effect on the bottom one make it win the prize.
