in my fifty second year


One of the things about blogging is that when you say you are going to do something. ..
someone is bound to remember.
Jill did.

I had blogged a few years ago my hope that I would take a yearly picture of my face. . .
so that I could watch myself age gracefully and truthfully.

When I re-posted last years picture for this years birthday post in February. .
Jill requested an update.

So. ..here is a picture taken several months ago during my 52 year. 
Do you see what I see?

Look closely. .
no I am not talking about the lines. . .though there are a few new ones.

I am talking about Joy.
I have joy. . .pure God given. .  joy.
Should we not celebrate even that?

all for now. .
