wish cathibeth a brilliant birthday (July 10)!

Sorry for being so late…my only excuse is that I was at camp with NO computer…

happy belated birthday Cathibeth…hope it was BRILLIANT!

I’m sorry it’s a little late but I couldn’t get online yesterday. I hope you had a wonderful day with lots of hugs, kisses, chocolate, cake…. You deserve all that and more. I’m here hoing and praying that this year is a great one for you sweetheart.

Keep on trucking and have a great great year :)

I hope this year is filled with joy and love for you and yours, and that it be free of strife and struggle!

You were one of the first people who really reached out to me on 43Things, and I appreciate the way you took the time to make me feel like a real person here, not just another anonymous username. I am sending wishes full of love and happiness to you, and I hope you’ve had an amazing day! :)

My dear friend Cathie,

You’ve had such highs and lows this past year. I wish I could have eased your pain during those trying times, or even eliminated them all together. But it’s through adversity that we grow, and you have grown beautifully through it all.

For the coming year, I see good things ahead. May you find inspiration for your artwork through the little things that you encounter each day. May you find an new outlet for the love that was lost. And may a larger audience find your remarkable talent.

You’re truly one in a million.

Hoping you have a fabulous birthday..you are the 43things resident artist—I love seeing your creative entries! Here’s to cathibeth (raising glass)! She’s da bomb!

Just past dawn, the sun stands
with its heavy red head
in a black stanchion of trees,
waiting for someone to come
with his bucket
for the foamy white light,
and then a long day in the pasture.
I too spend my days grazing,
feasting on every green moment
till darkness calls,
and with the others
I walk away into the night,
swinging the little tin bell
of my name.
