I'm sitting here happy and smiling while at the same time absorbing the fact that another year is almost over. I can feel the end of the year approaching when my birthday suddenly pops up and I start seeing Xmas decorations everywhere. As cynical as i could be about being another year older, the positives do definitely outweigh the negatives. Another year older, another year wiser right?
A common topic my other half and I often discuss is how quick this year is flying by. Which makes me wonder what have i actually achieved this year?
Let's see - I was headhunted for my current job, found a new love, met some new friends, survived losing my bestfriend to London, started studying my Post Grad and still retained some sanity but sadly less of a social life and I bought my first couch and dining table! Awesome stuff :)
This year i was truly feeling rather depressed about my birthday and it was mainly due to the fact that i was missing my girl Jess so much. She's been around for my last 7 birthdays or something like that, so not having her around was awful. As gutted as i was, i was determined to enjoy my birthday and decided that i was going to break tradition and NOT get tanked this year as per usual. My birthday day was really nice, although i had to work :P but a present from my brother (bling headphones!!) and flowers from Jess all the way from London, started off a good birthday day. Then spoiling from the boyfriend afterwards truly made the day special. Dinner, more flowers and more bling - what more can a girl ask for :).
High Tea at Lenotre in the Sofitel Wentworth on Sunday with 8 of my girlfriends was magical. Held on the garden terrace level, us girls chatted about everything and anything over sugary treats and fragrant teas. I felt truly blessed that I had such warm amazing girlfriends surrounding me and although two girlfriends were notably missing (Jess and Becks) I knew they were there in spirit :)
Thanks to my friends for all their warm wishes and hugs. This birthday came out a lot more special than i had envisaged. Here's to the rest of the year and hoping that I pass my exams.
