It is ‘Special Persons Day’ in our house today. That’s the celebration you have when you are not wanting to acknowledge your age on your birthday.
Okay so it is my birthday, 43 …..another year older.
It’s funny, I don’t feel any different then when I was in my 30’s. Sometimes I catch my reflection in a mirror and think ‘who’s that looking back at me?’. When did the laughter lines multiply and whats with the dark circles under the eyes….ok so while I’m in the region of the eyes – what’s with the saggy skin!!!!
I don’t think I am particularly vain nor am I concerned about growing older…just not right now. I want to feel old before I look older. There are some good things to be said for aging. I feel that I am in a very happy place right now. I like who I am and what I do and I think the hardest years are behind me – I guess it is true what they say ‘With age comes wisdom’. I wish we knew in our 20’s what we know in our 40’s. Would I make the same mistakes if I did – probably!!
My friend sent me this message in an email and I think it was the perfect pick me up for the birthday blues this morning.
Consider special people
Think about the memories
Another year is a happy gift,
Happy Birthday! & congratulations on your gorgeous blog which I have just discovered and will be adding to my favourites!

Hi Kerryanne! Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day. Love the poem you friend sent you!
Hi Kerryanne, Happy Birthday from all of us at Lilly Cottage, we will pop a bottle of pink bubbles in your honour! A birthday is a wonderful excuse to feel special and celebrate the fact you made it through the year (good bad or otherwise) and that poem is just perfect! I don’t think you much to worry about, your photo is gorgeous on the side bar, so open up some bubbles, indulge in Birthday cupcakes and begin another wonderful year!! Kiss noises Linda and Laura Lilly Cottage.
Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes. It turned out to be a lovely day and I received some lovely pressies too.
Three individual people made birthday cakes for me so I’ve eaten enough cake to last me through to next year!!!!
Hugs,
Kerryanne

Ps I deleted my last message as I realized as when I published the message I stuffed up and made a mistake. Mel!
