A Truly Blessed Day!

     So I turned 36 today. Like one of my favourite characters, Bella Swan, I've never been comfortable with birthdays and being celebrated.  If it was up to me, I'd fast-forward the day and just get on to the "plus-1-day-older" day, LOL! But it seemed the universe had other plans for me. I received countless wishes on Facebook, a few cakes, a birthday whistle, lunch, chocolates, cards and hugs! I even had the opportunity to blow out birthday candles and made a wish, after being sung to, Oh Boy! It has indeed been a blessed day.  

     I rounded off the day by having some Me-Time at the movies. Inception was awesome.  Christopher Nolan is a genius film-maker!  Just wished the crowd was thinner though! 

     This came for me over the weekend, all the way from the US. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it!

 

      It definitely made my day! Thank you Mar!  Sure Edward, I'd love to enjoy several hundred more years with the Cullens! 


     I got this wonderful ecard on Hallmark from Maria today. Man oh man, it was perfect! I managed to take screen caps of it. Too bad, I couldn't capture the sound. They should really consider making those ecards downloadable! 


     And gosh, check out this gorgeous one from Caro! My goodness, what talent! I wish I was as pretty as her drawing, LOL! 

    I left this message on my Facebook page when I got home this evening but it seems apt to repeat it here as well....

There is no greater blessing than having loved ones and friends in one's life. 

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, prayers and gestures. 

My days shine brighter with such wonderful people in my life. 

You are all truly amazing and I'm greatly humbled!
