ah, to be loved

I had a birthday early this week, I’m now 39. Does it bother me that 40 is rushing towards me? No, it really doesn’t. I’m happy with my life and I’m feeling wiser and that I have more understanding of life with each year that passes by, that is a special feeling and I treasure it.

I had nothing planned for my birthday but a really lovely day unfolded before me. A friend I haven’t seen for a while rang up and came over for a cup of tea and chat. My best friend came and picked us up (Miss A was home as it was a student free day) and took me to lunch – somewhere new and lovely. Then T and Miss A took me out for dinner to our local tavern which we’ve just discovered has lovely meals and is kid friendly.

Miss A painted my toenails for me so they would “look pretty for dinner”. Okay she didn’t do a great job but it’s not too bad if you don’t look closely! I appreciate the thought more than the talent anyway.

I also had a few text messages and phone calls from family, cards in the mail, e-cards and emails… so lovely to know that people were thinking of me.

Mmm, another lovely birthday goes by. Our anniversary is coming up soon so we’ll have to plan something nice for that
