Today, I turn 40. Such an occasion is a perfect time for Mary Oliver’s “Three Things to Remember” (though, I might add, it’s always a perfect time for Mary Oliver…):
As long as you’re dancing, you can
break the rules.
Sometimes breaking the rules is just
extending the rules.
Sometimes there are no rules.
Happy 40th! You make it look good!! 🙂 thank you for sharing this beautiful slice and poem. It speaks to me! Hoping you and your little boy have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing!

Congratulations and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. 40 really is as good as it gets! You are old enough to know what is important and old enough to not sweat all the small stuff.
