Happy Birthday...
...to me! Well, in about twenty minutes anyway.
For pretty much every other birthday, I've been self absorbed with thoughts of "what have I done with my life?" and how old I'm getting. People keep telling me "the older you get, the less your age matters." Now here I am at 40 and you know what? I think they're right. For what is probably the first time since I left home, I'm at peace with myself on my birthday. Methinks Gaia has a lot to answer for! ;)
I just wish I had more of my friends nearby to help me celebrate. Unfortunately, the vast majority are over (some *well* over!) 1000kms from here. Just me 'n' Gaia and the furkids. And Gaia's family who do a wonderful job of making me feel loved when my own family isn't around.
So again, I say.. Happy Birthday to me!!
