Somehow, I seem to have lost some time somewhere. An awful lot of it as it happens as I seem to have completed another decade. How???!!! Still, you know what this means?It's my Birthday!
Well, it is on Sunday. I like birthdays. I like the fact that one day a year I get cards and presents just for being here. After all I am getting older every minute of every hour of every day so why not celebrate rather than pretending it's not happening? When I think of my teens (quelle horreur!) I wouldn't go back for anything. The fact is that now I know who I am, I know what I want (mostly), and I feel more happy because of it.
I also feel like celebrating as getting to 40 has not been plain sailing. Anyone who visits here regularly knows that the past 2-3 years have not been the easiest. At times I wondered if I could make it to the next day but by heck I did and by heck I am still here! And you know, now I am getting help from the doctors to manage my thyroid condition, for the first time in ages I feel like myself and I feel like I can take on the world! (Well, at least I can stay awake mostly now which is a great improvement from catatonic zombie).
So, I'm off to have a weekend celebration. I'm going to Chester for the weekend. A lovely old Roman town with black and white timbered buildings where I intend to exercise my photographic muse. I intend to enjoy myself because when it comes down to it, life is too short to be miserable. I'm 40 and I'm fabulous!

I remember seeing a button not too long ago that said, "Forty is Sporty!" I thought that cute. :)

Congratulations on the Milestone. 40 is the new 30, didn't you know?
Happy Birthday BK.

as to being "fabulous", I think that is a major understatement. You are a wonderful creation of an infinitely wise and loving God who made this world for you to enjoy (and photograph). We enjoy our world a little more because YOU are in it, and for that I give thanks. Happy birthday, BK
Happy birthday, my friend! You sure look at it the right way. Me, I'm having trouble with thinking of myself as fabulous...
You certainly are fabulous!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Lady
Happy Birthday!! You ARE fabulous and you make the world fabulous for those of us who are allowed a peak into your life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I didn't realize we were exactly the same age and that we're only about 2 weeks apart. It sounds like you're in a great frame of mind to welcome your 5th decade (gulp!). I've been dreading it all year and now that's it's around the corner it's nice to look around and find I'm not going through this all alone.
Hope you enjoy your weekend much and looking forward to seeing pics!

Very belated Birthday greetings to you .I remember my 40th was the most significant at the time....I think mainly because I had a huge party.But believe me...age is immaterial...and you find yourself saying this more the older you get!
Congrats on 40, and a I love your attitude. And more so, happy for you that you are feeling more yourself. Max & Sam will keep you in line, I'm certain. :)
