    Happy birthday Bill!!

    Since I can't mail you a gift in real life we'll have to settle for imaginary gift haha.

    I wouldn't know what to get you, but maybe this:


    I hope you have a fantastic day and have many more years of health and happiness!
    Today is victory over yourself of yesterday. Tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.

    Thank you SO SO much, Everyone!

    We had a great birthday hike: cold and cloudy, but dry and clear.

    Here are a couple of pics:

    Hi Bill, I agree with Dennis, 1 day to celebrate ain't enough. Couldn't sleep and fired up my tablet and hit PA by mistake , although nothing's ever really a mistake is it, so my sub conscious brought me here and now I know why,to celebrate on your special day , it truly is a very special celebration of life, an anniversary of who you became as a special soul on a very gifted path with your best unconditional friend you could ever have. I have stopped saying how old are you, I now say I am just the guy with more birthdays than you,😊what a grand journey this has been for you, glad to call you my friend as the rest of the Avalon family is chiming in too. Its a very dynamic and close group here. So happy birthday and wish you many more ahead on your path buddy.

    Happy Birthday Bill

    Hexagram “24” Fool, the Return from February 20 to 25

    The wheel is turning, in the right direction, it is the time for reunions, for reconciliations after a disconcerting period.

    A time to bond, to have fun with friends, let's enjoy this moment of joy and well-deserved satisfaction. It is said that "it is good to undertake something," being generous, or even discovering new places, can only make this moment enjoyable.

    The "Return" is accompanied by "Change, Turning Point", indicating that it is time to turn the page, explore new possibilities and draw a line under the past. We can see it as the return of a "singing Spring". It is said "It is good to have a place to go"!

    📍 K'ouen, the Earth, the Receptive
    📍 Tchen, the Thunderer, the Awakener

    Position on the zodiac wheel between 1°5 to 7°5 Pisces

    It is a time of opportunity to recover what was lost, to take advantage of the good things you encounter without abusing them. Health returns if it was failing. It is said to be "a sense of transformation of what is old and its amendment by what is new and unexpected." It relates to the 7th day announcing a change. The time between two phases in a lunar cycle!

    The life force is still underground. Enjoy it, but don't rush it. It's Solstice time and its variations of change. A moment for yourself, to rebalance yourself with the forces of nature; everything is still in motion, both within and without!

    Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen this vital force, through rest, because time is necessary to reprogram oneself to what is coming. It is a "Return" requiring rearrangements on the mental level and opening oneself to a greater understanding so that conciliation can take its course. There is an opening towards a "better being", but also towards a "better doing" and this is prepared behind the scenes of our conscious perceptions. A moment of spontaneity and surprise at stake.

    The "Return" depends on your availability, on what you give to these special moments, the more you are open to the world around you, the more the newness manifests itself spontaneously, without the slightest effort on your part.

    The time of renewal is the time of improvements that cannot come to fruition without our consent. It is our participation, in progressing in the perfection of ourselves, that comforts can no longer interfere in our lives. Welcome this "Return" with joy and good humor, let life carry you by this "chance that often does things well." The "Return" to true things that are good for the heart, take without asking too many questions. The gifts of heaven are infinite, but very often we do not know how to appreciate them for what they are.
    Let's not focus on the "Return" of something related to the past, the cycle of the seasons is part of an incessant "Return" but not necessarily a return on the same things. The "Return" can have multiple consequences and in what concerns us of profitable "Return" that we would be wrong not to exploit, like gifts of life, like the return of the rays of the Sun, this moment is just as pleasant as any other event that you receive in Return of something else
