Happy Birthday Beth - a community indicator
Late last night I received an email from Loretta Donovan alerting me to a 50th Birthday Blog for Beth Kanter. She asked all of us FOBs (friends of Beth) to either blog and link to the birthday blog or post a comment.
Beth, not one to shy away from new ideas and the creative edge, had invited us, her friends, to remix pictures for birthday cards, calling it The Beth 5.0 - Flickr Photo Birthday Card Remix Contest.
There IS a community around Beth, and these are but a few of the indicators.
That said, I didn't do a card. I never got the right inspiration. I thought about gathering 50 short quotes about birthdays, but then I thought, um, that would get boring.
So instead I've gathered but four, to represent the four directions, the four seasons and the four quarters of the moon.There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents ... and only one for birthday presents, you know.
Happy 50th Birthday, Beth!
Lewis Carroll
Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.
Jean Paul Richter
Very early, I knew that the only object in life was to grow.
Margaret Fuller
Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.
