The Simple Pleasures...


Today I turned forty. The bittersweet birthday I have been trying to avoid for the past twenty years has come.. and gone. I am still alive.. and did more than survive.

I decided that I had finally reached the summit of my life.. much time spent climbing. I found out I am happy to sit and just enjoy the view a while. What a different perspective from the summit than when I began. I think I will take a little time to smell the roses so to speak.

My darling husband was so sweet today. I cant remember a time when someone who I was romantically involved with was so sweet. He went over the top today. He is normally a saver and quite frugal. Today he showered me with love and I feel so special... I am showing off my gorgeous roses.. 40 of them - the longest largest and incredibly fragrant lol... one of many thoughtful and beautiful gifts... I also got to spend much of the day with my little cake. She always makes me smile. I feel so blessed..

back to the grind tomorrow....

I hope that you had a lovely day! It sounds like you did! 40 isn't the summit though - - - it is 50 and I am going to summit in a few years!!!
