You and I ...Wishing you a very happy 70th birthday. You and I have so much shared history, from choosing not to have children to starting college later in our lives to being medical transcriptionists (in the 1960s with my mom who always worked for doctors) to loving quiet birthdays and just a walk with a good friend. Waving hello to you my pacific northwest sister and wishing you a wonderful 70th year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-15695028827863636232018-10-01T16:25:55.204-07:002018-10-01T16:25:55.204-07:00

What a happy card it is!<br /><br />I recently quit my job for a few personal reasons and a boatload of moral and ethical reasons. I am now unemployed and terrified because I have no idea what to do next. I had to follow my heart though. <br /><br />Wishing you a very happy birthday. <br />Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-30334777940986246762018-10-01T13:36:08.271-07:002018-10-01T13:36:08.271-07:00Happy birthday, dear friend.

I very much enjoyed reading this post -- about past pursuits and dreams. I smiled about the part about Tramp. I must tell you that when I was young, I wanted to grow up to "be" the german shepherd, "London" in a Canadian television show from the early 1960s called "The Littlest Hobo" -- about a nomadic dog that went from place to place helping people, solving problems and averting disasters and crimes. The logistics of growing up to be a dog didn't seem too troublesome at the time. Also interesting that we have similar degrees -- mine are in art history and English Lit. I, too, did not go to university until I had done many other things. I'm glad that you have had supportive friends along your journey through life, and that you are still curious and optimistic. I think that is what helps to keep us going -- looking forward to whatever happens next. bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246260676619681887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-21751257694153416282018-10-01T10:03:38.279-07:002018-10-01T10:03:38.279-07:00happy birthday. the 60s were a hard decade for me ...happy birthday. the 60s were a hard decade for me to accept. I'll turn 70 in 2020. I hope that one is easier. I graduated from high school with no idea of what kind of job or career I wanted except I did not want to be an office worker in a cubical. I was an art major in college but never graduated. after a series of sales jobs I stumbled on what would become my career and started my little etched glass commission studio. my husband quit his job and devoted himself to my talent. it provided a living for us for over 40 years but we have retired from that now that we are both on SS. I still do the little cast glass art pieces and sell a few every year. people thin or rather don't think they have any choice about jobs and their lives. it's harder now I think to become self employed by selling whatever your skill is. I'm glad I escaped the corporate drudge even if we lived on the edge of poverty. our lives were our own and that was reward enough.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.com
