Age is but a number!

This week I've had people say to me;
"You don't look old enough to have been married nearly 16 years,"
"I hadn't realised you were THAT old"
"You can't be that old"
"Is this year a big birthday?"

Age is a strange thing....when I was a child I longed for birthdays , reaching the next milestone ...being old enough to join the boys and girls brigade at 7, going into double figures, becoming a teenager, sweet sixteen, eighteen and legally able to go to the pub and there it pretty much stopped for suddenly you realise that with age comes responsibility, adulthood and another birthday is no longer fun!

But for some reason this year there's been a break through ...there's no rhyme or reason why, we didn't particularly do anything extra special but we did spend the day with friends and family , we danced the night away to 80s tunes and at Dan s request played musical statues and bumps. I was really touched by the cards, gifts and messages in real time and virtually that I received and just went to bed feeling thoroughly loved!

This week has been really really emotionally draining at work with really difficult situations to deal with, assist with and face full on...it's made me truly appreciate what I've got .
My dear friends and family thank you for your support, for listening, reading, for just being there...I love you dearly and wish I could give each one of you a great big hug!
