Well hello there wonderful people, i don't normally do mid - week posts as this blog was all about the wonderful week ends we have. But today i wanted to share my happiness with those of you who choose to read this. As some of you know, my birthday last year was dire with a big fat capital 'D'!! Due to the circumstances i had found myself in i had spent the previous few days crying and feeling desperately scared and lost. The day itself was no better, spent in almost silence as my colleagues at the time chose not to speak to me. Birthday cards were left covertly on my desk as though people were almost scared to be seen fraternizing with the unfortunate few who'd so recently had bad news. It was a miserable day, and even a dinner out with Paul did not rescue the day. I remember eating the food, and thinking it doesn't taste of anything. In all.....a sad day.
Fast forward a year, this morning i arrived at work to be greeted by a hug, a lovely birthday card and presents. Later in the morning, i was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers - totally unexpected and so pretty! At lunch time five of us went to Zizzi's for lunch, a very happy occasion with much laughter, balloons and a lot of discussion about what desserts to have. I thought it couldn't get any better....until the waitress appeared with a very pink Disney Princess birthday cake complete with sparklers and candles, and my wonderful work family sang happy birthday to me. So this is what a birthday should be like? I feel so blessed that this year i got to experience such a happy occasion. My day has been full of laughter, presents, cards, cake and a lot of thoughtful messages on Facebook. Surely i must be the luckiest girl in the world, because with out doubt my world is now full of the most wonderful people in the world. And i just wanted to say to those people - THANK YOU!!!!
