One of my birthday cards – made me :)
On Saturday night I celebrated my birthday. Family and friends came from near and far to spend the night in the pub with me and catch up, have a laugh and drink some wine. The night flew by, and I left in high spirits, wishing I’d had more time to talk to everyone and appreciative of the effort they had made to be there.
And now, I PROMISE I will not talk about turning 40 again. I am sure everybody has had quite enough of me and my insecurities, so I faithfully swear to shut up about it.
And, by the way, you were all correct. It’s fine.
So, what now? Well, I have decided how’s the time to make a few life changes…nothing big, just small things that might make a big difference in the long run. I am adding a page to the blog to chart them…and plan to start by finally cutting sugar out of my tea. I went from 2 spoonfuls and over the years have got it down to a ¼ spoonful. I could never quite surrender that last little bit, but have put it on the list. Well, presently it’s the only thing on the list, but I shall add to it over the coming months and try to give myself a bit of an overhaul. A human spring clean. I shall wipe the skirting boards of my soul and brush the cobwebs from my brain. A lick of paint will be given to my exterior and my bad habits will be boxed up for charity. And I will stop using so many bad metaphors. I hope. Can’t make any promises on that one….
