bring on another decade
When I turned 30, I:
• had just moved to this small town
• had more long-distance friends than local ones
• was happy when I knew one face while running errands around town
• was working on a book, but struggling with it
• read the KnitList every day, but didn't prowl the local yarn store
• had just bought my first house, but hadn't a clue how to tackle my 1/4-acre garden.
Ten years later, I:
• can't run errands in a timely fashion because I run into too many people that I know and love each place I stop
• still have many of those great long-distance friends
• have true-blue, wish-I-could-see-them-more-often friends in the knitting world both locally and abroad
• have made over virtually every surface in this house, and built a lovely addition which houses a dear friend of ours
• have lost 30 pounds and kept them off
• run a triathalon (albeit a short one)
• started my pattern business and in the process, discovered my dream job
• have married the most fabulous man there ever was – in an ensemble entirely hand-knit by yours truly
• adopted the Best Dog Ever
• can run 4 miles!
• and here is the garden now (in no small part thanks to Mom's herculean efforts before the wedding):
If you're reading this, you've been a part of this magnificent last decade-
Thank you for making it so great.
And now, there shall be cake!

Hope the day itself was happy and lived up to round number expectations.
Hooray for the 40's! Sounds like you put the 30's to good use--I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this decade.
The garden is beautiful and so are you. I am fortunate to have become a small part of your knitting world. The 40's are great and the 50's are even better, enjoy.
