I am feeling A LOT better today - the pain has been cut 75% so I actually could do something while lying about in my machine ;) So tomorrow I turn 40 and am having a dinner party at a restaurant with 29 friends and family members. So I made cds with my favorite music on them for my guests. Above is the art work for the cd that I created from a drawing, a painting, a collage, and a photo.
I then printed up my favorite poem and rolled it up in some joss paper to tuck inside the ribbon.
Judi came over for a visit today and brought me a few get well gifts - a healing hand candle, an adorable pink vanity case and only she would know that I would adore an Our Lady of Guadalupe healing plaster!
Happy Happy HAPPY birthday dear Gina! So glad your surgery was a success. Be happy. Be healthy. Be wealthy. Be wise. That is my wish for you at 40.
Love, Joyce
