CELEBRATE

I usually pass this Silver Birch on my daily run and no matter how I feel it always always cheers me up.

There is a constancy, a beauty and a wisdom to it, that's beyond its own making and to which I am drawn.

Someone who speaks to me through blip in the same manner as this tree is Carol : Rosie & Mr Fun who celebrates her 800th blip today.

It's only early afternoon in California and mid-evening here in the UK so she has not yet posted her blip, but when she does please congratulate her because she personifies the best there is about blip, and I for one am always cheered by her wise and gentle countenance.
