a birthday weekend…

Jun 21, 2008 | Life in Progress

hi there. just wanted to pop in and say hello. i turned 33 years young today. been celebrating all day with ocean walks, searching for seaglass and rocks, naps in the shade at golden gate park with my man, and festivities and meals in little italy. good times. i think the 30’s rock it and i’m so, so happy to be here.
a special sidewalk in san fran delivered this to me today – i thought it was perfect. a little birthday hope note, perhaps? love this idea of writing messages on large pieces of tape and posting them all around. great idea.

Sending much love,

    Hi Kelly,

    I love your work and your blog! I was just checking in today and notice that we share the same birthday! I turned 41. 40 was hard but I’m now moving forward.
    Happy belated birthday!

    Happy Birthday Kelly! See, if you were in Portland, we could go feast on NW 23rd or Kennedy School! I’ll reserve a space for cake in my tunny for when you return!

    happy birthday kelly!
    My thirties were SO MUCH BETTER than my 20’s, and now I am enjoying life in my early 40’s!
    I always found it strange that adults would say to me in my teen years “These are the best years of your life!” Oh how wrong they were… despite a few shadows my life has been sunnier with every passing year!
    I hope the coming year holds for you many happy and joyful surprises!

    Ah, Guerilla Art/Notes…gotta love it! Getting ready to go out with a group of my ex-students (12 year olds!)and “plant” some poetry flowers for people to pick!
    Happy Birthday…the thirties are good, but I’m thinking the forties will REALLY rock…so settled into myself I wll be!

    happy, happy birthday! you don’t know me, but i have been visiting your site since last year. your art inspires me and also your thoughts and personal sharing. i have actually shed some tears while reading some of your entries… and have made a note to email you (which never happened :)… there are always little things pressing me for time.
