Happy Birthday, Growing_Beautifully!

Here’s to another year of growing beautifully, @GB!

I saw this screenshot a while ago from the kdrama “Dear My Friends” (2016) and it reminded me of you.

Thanks for being the glue that binds us here. You’re the gentler, kinder, and wiser “face” of the blog.

  1. Happiest Birthday Dearest @GB !!! πŸŽ‚πŸ₯³β€οΈ

    May God continue to bless you with many more birthdays and good health too!!!

    We are blessed because you’re here. Enjoy! 😘😘😘

  2. What are you watching nowadays, @agdr03?

  3. Howdy Queen! πŸ₯° how are you?

    I’m trying to finish Coroner’s Diary and I’ve started Typhoon Family.

    I’m enjoying it so far. I just really like Lee Jun Ho. ☺️

    When I finish CD, I’ll start Love In The Clouds. ☺️

  4. β€œLove in the Clouds” is good. Plus, I like the actress; she’s a cutie.

    I’ll resume watching it tomorrow. πŸ™‚ This is the year of cdramas for me.

    I still haven’t decided what my costume will be for Halloween. I might just go as Alice in Wonderland again.

  5. The pairing in Love In The Cloud looks good. I like her too, the FL. ☺️ It’s good too that it’s on Netflix.

    Yes! I noticed that you got into cdramas more this year. They always have the variety with the many varieties of ML and FL. 😊

    Halloween is here now. Then Christmas next. 😱 Time really does fly here in Oz.

    Enjoy your Halloween. πŸ‘»

    Awwww, thank you @pkml3 to the Nth degree! It’s really so sweet of you to remember my birthday. This thread is truly a blessed Birthday treat and gift to me!!

    And I’m humbly touched and full of gratitude that you should consider me any kind of good ‘glue’ that keeps us all more connected (emphasis on the good!!) LOL. In this space, may we all find companions on our drama-watching travels and even friends on our lifes’ journeys.

  7. Happy Birthday @GB Unnie! My best wishes!

    I do hope you had a great day yesterday! <3

    Thank you my dear Doensaeng @Cleo! You’re still in time, my birthday is today (ie Halloween itself!).

    I’m having my preferred relaxing time, leisurely Japanese lunch with daughter and a nice long nap!!!

    I’ve spent my birthday month, from time to time, just taking advantage of birthday deals and doing some shopping that I’ve not done for ages. It’s been a great ‘month-long’ celebration!! πŸ™‚

  9. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @agdr!! Thanks so much for your blessings and wishes! You’re a sweet blessing to us as well! πŸ˜„πŸ˜˜πŸ¬πŸ­πŸ¨

  10. Unnie! It is good to know that! I thought it was yesterday…

    I am glad you are enjoying your day and having fun! ❀️✨🎈

    Shopping is good, as long as you are enjoying it!

  11. Sending you love and blessings @GB!

    You are indeed a wise and kind presence on this blog and we are all grateful to you.

  12. I’ll post a thread for Mobius for you, @GB.

    Hope you had an awesome day today. Did you go somewhere special? Your chili crab πŸ¦€ would be my go-to celebratory food if I were you. It’s a bit messy to eat (or maybe it’s just me?) but the taste is out of this word.

  13. @GB

    Best wishes on your birthday!

    (what a great day to be born! One of my favourite holidays! In New England its Heathcliff weather today!.)

  14. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Thank you my dear @Kate! I miss your thoughtful comments on our commonly watched dramas. May all be well with you and blessings to you too!

  15. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Thank you in advance, my dear @pkml3!!

    I did not go anywhere special, but I did have a special lunch and I feel it was a special day since I hardly have a chance to chat at length with my busy adult children, and managed to do that, so it’s been very nice.

    The most special thing of all is that I always get to enjoy the anticipatory Holy Mass for All Saints’ Day on my birthday!! It’s of course the most perfect prayer and therefore a perfect gift on my birthday. I’ve just come home from church where the celebration was inspiring. I even met friends who wished me, which added to my joy.

    Oh yes, I love chilli crab but I hardly eat it because it needs a bunch of people gathered to eat usually. It’s also pretty humid weather again, so eating chilli will really gets us perspiring. It’s definitely messy but wash hands and just suck away at the meat in shell. πŸ˜‹

    Thank you my dear @IB! Are you experiencing blustery winds, darkening skies and dramatic storms? I understand that the weather in New England might remind you of that on the Yorkshire moors. πŸ˜‰

  17. Dear @GB, I was just about to publish in the October Post that I decided arbitrarily that Halloween was your Birthday πŸ˜€ . Funnily enough dear @PM3 run with the idea first.

    Happy Birthday, thanks both for being a companion in my J-Dorama viewings and a light in dark times.

  18. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hello my dear @FGB! What a hoot… you arbitrarily were going to assign Halloween as my birthday??? But it really is my birthday LOL.

    It is such a happy viewing experience, watching dramas with you. And what a lovely description – thank you so much! You too shine your light in your difficult times and inspire us all. May we all aspire to have a heart of warmth and care for fellow human persons as you do.

  19. Oh! Happy Birthday GB !! πŸŽ‚πŸΉπŸŽπŸ’πŸŒΌ

  20. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Thanks @WE! See you later on the Party thread. πŸ˜„

    @pkml3, please hold on a bit and do not open a thread for Mobius. We may change the Rewatch show to something else!!!

    Mobius may not be suitable as Rewatch material (depending on what one looks for in a show) but it was great for a first watch.

    Hello my dear @pkml3!

    This is a gentle reminder to please open the last thread for the While You Were Sleeping Rewatch.

    Also, I’ve left you a note on our next Rewatch of Remember: War of the Son in the WAWW Thread.

    Have a great weekend!!
