It's my Birthday!

It's my birthday! It really snuck up on me this year. It isn't that I'm overly busy or anything, it's just that February was so short that the beginning of March just ran up to me, poked me in the butt, and said Hello.

Friendlier than last year when I had time to plan something but still didn't. That's more like a gentle slap.

So here I am, another year older. I'm not sure what exactly that means, as I still don't act or look my age. The only thing is that I FEEL older. I exercise less, I'm lazier. I think in more 'big-picture' terms. I make plans for the year instead of just the weekend.

And thinking ahead, I know that life is too short to be spent worrying so much. This doesn't mean I'll stop worrying, but at least I'll worry with a bit more self awareness.

So no, I'm not doing anything celebratory for my birthday. Maybe I'll get a cake and some gifts, but I've never been a fan of big parties with lots of people, loud noises, and drunken shenanigans. Guess that's the biggest proof I'm getting older.

The Last Few Days

My birthday is in early March and I spent the day celebrating with some friends! 

I feel very grateful for being alive… I know a lot of people haven’t had a very good life, but I have been entirely blessed and have been fortunate and pretty lucky.

Those are prawns, I swear!

I’ve never had any major bouts of depression and I’m proud to say that I’m a pretty positive person. A big thanks to everyone to celebrated my birthday with me!

One day they'll invent smell-o-blogging and it'll be amazing...

They made me pasta and I got some cake, and some gifties that I’ll upload more on later. (I have eaten a lot of the presents, but no one can really blame me…)

Kitty!

On nom on om!

I get pretty excited for my birthday every year... I'm not a party-person nor a celebrator of most events, but I just get so incredibly stoked for the festivity and inherent excitement of things! I'm already looking forward to next year! I'm sure I'll be less enthusiastic when I'm turning 30 or something...
