Jump! and Other Birthday Exhortations

This card, which inside reads “Drop everything…it’s party time!” was given to me by Jan, Richard, Jessica, and Christopher. I like to imagine that the frog jumpers shown here are none other than the children’s frogs that I fed while they were on vacation this summer.

Other exhortations were received via email, such as this one sent in to me by she who is Just Muttering By Myself

Live to the fullest extent possible.
Live to learn, and remember that you learn by living.
That is the path to happiness.
