Birthdays are always special,
not just for the celebrant, but for their family, friends and colleagues!!
There is cake- my favourite ones, plenty of flowers of my favourite kind, there are bumps and free flowing laughter on most occasions. And Lots of Love - my favourite kind.
45 is an age, I refer to as the "Age of the Ultra"
But circumstances are ensuring Ultra remains a dream.
And I continue to work towards fulfilling it.
Every birthday reminds me of the one which I can never forget.
The happy one at times, but rudely, the ones which bring the tears.
Memories remain, but the pain is gone.
So we celebrate in ways appropriate.
An early birthday celebration with classmates who turned friends, with extended family - strangers no more. This kicked off the celebration days in advance and helped create better memories.
Grateful for friends who accept and love me for the person I am.
This day was guaranteed to remain a quiet, no excitement, me and mine day...
Till the past crept upon me in ways I never would have imagined a month ago.
It brought with it memories, smiles, anticipation and maybe closures.
And a chance meeting.
A very special birthday gift!
And another meeting from the not so distant past.
A medley of emotions.
A medley of emotions.
Each a different reason, as different as night and day.
Bringing with it a different season.
"It's been a long cold lonely winter
it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Look forward to new beginnings and many more journeys around the sun!
Happy Birthday to me!
