53!

By

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Eye Candy Friday to say: It’s my BiRthDaY!

And this is what 53 looks like around here:

Okay, so technically that’s 52.999 since I took it last night right before we went out to dinner. And yes, it’s edited, because I’m a photographer and no photo is ever the best when it’s straight out of the camera. But it’s still my truth. Some fine lines on my face, gray in my hair (I stopped highlighting it over a year ago now and I’m glad), more weight than I’d like . . . but that’s me and I’m okay with all of it because another trip around the sun sure beats the alternative.

Have a great weekend!

  21. Happy Birthday, Carole! I hope your day is as wonderful as mine was yesterday! I celebrated my “Beatles Birthday” and was serenaded with “Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I’m…”! I hope your celebration will last through the weekend & wish you the best for the year ahead!

  34. Happy Birthday! Wishing you a great day and a wonderful year ahead!!! You share a birthday with my moth er in law in Heaven. I was blessed to have the best MIL…I think today is a great day for a birthday!!!

  35. A very happy birthday to you, Carole. I say 53 is looking pretty darn good. You are perfectly imperfect just the way you are. I hope you have a fabulous weekend and reflect on how good your life is and how you make it that way!

  38. Happy, happy (belated) birthday, Carole! You are beautiful! And I love that you post photos of yourself. So many friends and bloggers don’t. which I think is such a shame. It’s lovely to see the person behind the words!
