California Girl at heart.....
"human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but...life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves..." Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Wish that we could take credit for the marvelous young woman you are...but you've done too much of the creative work yourself...challenging yourself....opening yourself to new experiences...beautiful soul...amazing spirit...YOU!
"...I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different....we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around". Kurt Vonnegut
...sometimes ya just gotta dance! "Dancie" sends her love....(should be a picture here of you in your tights and tutu...but all of a sudden my 'puter got cranky and won't let me access any more pix)....
"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."
Kurt Vonnegut "Knowing What's Nice", an essay from In These Times (2003)
You are compassionate...and mindful of the simple joys...the extraordinary wonder of life......today...celebrate YOU....we do!
Happy Birthday! (now go dance and fart around....and thoroughly enjoy your day!).
WE LOVE YOU!!!

Dear Caitlin
Unfortunately, I don't have any elaborate or thought-provoking quotes like your Mom does; but I do have sincerest wishes that you had a wonderful day and that this coming year is full of all good things.
Love, Aunt Maureen
Caitlin,
Unfortunately, NONE of your aunts are quite as thought provoking (wordy) as your Mom. We DO, however, wish all your dreams come true and that this coming year be good to you in CA or wherever you land !!
love,
Aunt Beth
