Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you should have always been. — David Bowie
First… a little music for this post because yes, today is my birthday…
And while this song is a great pick-me-up I must confess that I have been struggling greatly with the idea of this birthday… and this is quite the confession from a person who never cared one iota about how old I was. 30 was not hard and 40 even less so. And I don’t even remember the big 5-0 so how come 59 is giving me fits? Good thing I have an entire year to get comfortable with the idea – that and those words of wisdom from David Bowie which I am counting on to guide me in the process!
59 year-old me… yes, wrapped in my Regan
However, birthdays be damned! It’s the Season of Selfish Knitting and of course I have some ideas with which to tempt you!!
Coorie is so lovely… the perfect winter companion!
Skeindeer’s Sweater Hug is also a winner!
And, Sarah’s Yofi hat and cowl are both lovely and look so cozy warm!
That’s all I have for today – have a good weekend and I will see you all back here next week!
Also!! Honoré has graciously agreed to host us for our monthly word updates in 2020!
Happy Birthday Kat!
Happiest of birthdays Kat. May you have a wonder filled year full of joy and happiness. You wear 59 so well!
Happy birthday Kat! I personally like all the birthdays that end in and odd number but the even numbered ones are bothersome to me . How is that for puzzling?
Happy Birthday, you look wonderful!!
Happy YOU day! I love that David Bowie quote-so much truth to that, and you are looking fantastic for 59!
Happy, happy birthday, Kat! I agree with Carole; you do look wonderful, and I hope this is a year that treats you well in every way!
Happy BIRTHDAY!! Just think next year you will be the youngest in a new decade 🙂 You look beautiful and I wish you a wonderful year of everything you desire.
What a lovely surprise to read that today you made your 59th trip around the sun! Too cool! You look beautiful and full of life and I look forward to celebrating the next one with you! Wahoo! Have a great weekend!
Cheers~
Happy Happy Birthday! You wear 59 well – in fact beautifully! And that Coorie wrap – I love the texture. You are right this is self-indulgent knitting time. To that end I have been perusing shawl patterns for some lovely stash.
Happy, happy birthday! That is a smashing photo! I had no trouble with any birthdays until I hit 70. I still haven’t exactly adjusted to that…
Happy Birthday to you!! Your picture is beautiful. I hope your day was wonderful!
Happy Birthday! love that photo of you (and I can totally see why you have another Reagan on your 2020 to-make list) … wishing you all the best this year 🙂
Belated wishes for a very happy birthday!
A belated happy birthday to you, Kat! You are glowing, so 59 must be agreeing with you!
Sorry I’m late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I think birthdays are always better than the alternative … 😉
Also, you look beautiful in that photo. xo
Happy, happy birthday, Kat!! You look beautiful and, lemme tell ya, 59 is a-okay (so is 60 and I’m trying out 61… I’ll let you know).
🙂
