I have always been a lover !! I love the excitement, the surprises the sense of feeling special just for a day. Birthdays were always a big event in our house, cakes, candles, prezzies and an event to mark the occassion!
However we then grow up and as we get older things change, priorities, time, money etc. My problem is I still feel like I am 17 or even 7 when it comes to birthdays, I still want the surprise and excitement which doesn't always happen.
For many different reasons, not excluding an exhausting week with a poorly son last Friday was a tricky day, even my 3 year old announced that it wasn't quite right as there was no balloons, bnanner, cake or candles!!
I have to confess I was feeling a bit deflated but managed to pull myself together enough to go out to Taggs for a drink with a nice surprise of my parents coming too..and then the whole day was transformed. Marc, apparently at the last minute, put a note on Facebook I had mentioned on Twitter and some very dear friends turned up to celebrate with me. It was a really lovely night of fun, cocktails, cake and banter. It was great to spend time with folk I don't usually get to talk with because of a little distraction, it was great to be able to relax and unwind and it was amazing to be spoilt with people dropping things at the last minute and thinking of cakes and candles!
Its times like Friday when you realise how people feel and I felt blessed!!
Thank you so much for those who shared the day with me...you know who you are!!
