Another year older.....
So I hit the big 35 today. For the first time in a very long time, it's nice to not feel like I'm 85!
While I'm not totally pain free, it is an absolute blessing to have a great deal of my pain be gone from my life. Here's to hoping that the rain stops & the sun comes out so I can have an almost pain free birthday, finally!  Karin

A big, old giant HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!! OMG. 35. You are a baby. It's been a long time since I was that age. But, how happy I am for you that you are enjoying diminishing pain levels. That is wonderful news in itself to celebrate.
Don't overdue tho! Cindylou

Happy Birthday
Oh Karin.. to be 35 again!!! Wow! I'd love that!
Ok well, I turned 55 in Feb and I was OK with that too except these darned wrinkles and stuff~ Anyway, remember that today will never come again so enjoy it in whatever way you're able. Sometimes we let so much slip away and we don't even realize it. Live, love and be as happy as you're able. Happy Healthy Birthday and many many more
