Hello, My People!
Guess who is jumping back into the blogpool?
I have missed you all so very much.
Things here are still a bit rocky at times, but getting better every day. I am eager to start blogging again and catch up with all of you. I can't promise I'll post on a regular basis, and I can't promise my posts will be coherent, but has that ever stopped me before?
So, today is my birthday and my present to myself is the freedom begin to blog again. I want to thank you all for your kind thoughts and voices of support and concern, especially, those wonderful, pesky people who e-mailed me and urged me to come back to Blogland. I will never forget your support and friendship through this time. Truly, I am humbled and blessed beyond belief.
So, put on that shiny bow and wear it proudly. If anybody asks about it just tell them that you are a present to Betty and a gift to the universe.
Because you are.
Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you.... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BB!!!
HAPPY HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!!
YES WE'RE SHOUTING!! WHEN MY SIS WAS A WEE LASS AND HAD TO NAP (WHICH SHE HATED) SHE WOULD ASK MOM HOW LONG SHE HAD TO NAP. MOM TOLD HER ABOUT 2 HOURS WHICH WAS AN ETERNITY TO HER. INSTEAD OF SAY SHE LOVED THE PEEPS A BUNCH SHE STARTED TELLING THE PEEPS SHE LOVED THEM 'TWO HOURS AND A BUNCH'. TO HER THAT WAS THE ULTIMATE AMOUNT OF TIME AND DEVOTION!
BB
WE MISSED YOU
'TWO HOURS AND A BUNCH'!!
HUGS MADI AND MOM
Oh, Betty I'm so glad you have reclaimed your freedom of speech. I checked this morning thinking it just might be the day you came back to us, and was so happy to find you. May this birthday truly be the birth of a new day for you.
HOORAY! I knew today was a good day for some reason. :)
I'm glad you are back, Betty. It's good to know you are alive and kicking. Christmas is the worst, pally, and you MADE IT!!!
Happy Birthday, my friend. May this year ahead bring many good surprises, strength, love, and most of all.....happiness. I wish it all for you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dearest Betty!!!! My heart is so happy seeing you back today. And, while I know this isn't really about ME [to which I say, "why not?" ;)], I do want you to know that my life is a richer, better place with your words in it.
HUGS, my dear friend! Happiest of Days and Years for you, always!!!
Betty! I'm sooo glad you're back and just in time. I was almost tempted to feel sorry for myself about some silly thing that happened in my life and here you are with your wonderful header photo and words of love and encouragement, showing us life goes on. So, Welcome Back! Big Hug!
Happy birthday ma'am. I hope you see lots of sun there.
Oh, and Happy Birth Day!
Yay! You're back! Happy Birthday, Betty. It's good to read you again.
YAAAYYYYY!! [Kermit-the-Frog style arm flail] My subconscious must have been telling me to prepare myself 'cause Betty's rrrrready to rrrrrumble!

Happy Birthday! I have missed you but knowing you were maybe out galavanting as needed sure helped me curb my impatience!
Welcome back, birthday girl!
Yay!! You're back!! Welcome back and Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!!
Hey BB...Welcome back and Happy Birthday. SO good to see you. Y'know, we were talking about you this weekend. Were your ears ringing???
Coherent or not, we're all here for you. Actually, the non-conherent can be pretty funny, y'know!!!
Good to see you back, friend.
Yay, Betty's back!! Happy Birthday! I'm a January gal, too!
So good to have you back, Betty...as you can see from all the comments, you've been missed!!
Happy birthday! Welcome back!!
And you, BB, are a gift as well.
May this birthday be the start of something wild and wonderful.
Welcome back! I would sing, but given my tone-deafness I'll try for something poetic:
hippo birdie, two ewe
hippo birdie, two ewe
hippo birdie, deer ewe
hippo birdie, two ewe.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Betty!!! So glad that you are Back!! As much as you want or can. I certainly know how that is. Crazy, busy up and down past year (or is it 2 or 3?) In my life, I've lost count. ;-)
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Betty!!
Hugs,
Coreen XO
Welcome back, and a very Happy Birthday to you!!!
betty! two of my comments: blogger says "conflicting edit."
SO BUMMED OUT.
Happy birthday, hope this one goes through.
love you.
Happy Birthday, Betty! So glad you're taking the plunge into the blogpool again!
I was just checking your blog yesterday and noticed the header had changed ... so I was hoping ...!!
Happy belated birthday.... if I had
known sooner we could have celebrated with some cake... too late
and a very hearty welcome back to blogging... I have missed your wit.
this sure is good news to me! We go back a long ways in the blog world and it was different and not as much fun with you gone. I was tickled when I saw your comment on my blog today! Above all though, I'm happy to hear that you are doing and feeling better my friend. Oh yeah!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Welcome back and a very happy Birthday, hope it was a great day.;)
In the darkest periods of last year, blogging is what kept me sane.;) So I understand who wonderful it must feel for you to be writing again.;)
Have a great week,
xoxo
Well. you have not lost your talent and clearly your followers have been waiting in the wings! Bet you never sneak off again. Happy Birthday oh wise one.

Happy Birthday!! Glad you are back!
Hugs
SueAnn
