Birthdays

Today is my birthday, and as I’m sitting in my office, in my lovely warm scrumptious dressing gown, recovering from a yucky virus playing spider solitaire on the computer I can’t help but think to myself “today is my birthday” :-)

Birthdays for me are special, they’re days to celebrate being alive, days for doing exactly what you want, being exactly as I want to be.  So as I look out the window at the grey sky and rain on the glass I think where else would I rather be?  And the answer is nowhere.  I do notice the clutter on my desk and think mmm.. I’d rather that wasn’t there… and then directly after this thought is the thought that I have the power to create my desk, my office, my life exactly as I want it to be.

A long time ago I waited for birthdays to be made special by others, and as I got older I got disappointed more and more.  Now I know, just like my life I have the power to create my birthday exactly as I want it to be.

Today I’m going to play solitaire spider until lunch time, get dressed and then head into town to go shopping and buy some lovely soaps and smelly things from Lush (Natural Handmade cosmetics to die for!) and I may even buy myself something nice to wear.  Nothing special… but it’s EXACTLY what I want… and tonight I’m going to cook a nice dinner and eat it with my man :-)


Happiness for me is the small things in life, I LOVE them!!
