Birthday and its charms

Today has been a splendid day. I celebrated my 2* birthday. Hard luck to all those of you who thought I would reveal my age. It’s probably one of the most memorable birthdays I have celebrated recently. There was something about today that made it so special for me despite the fact that I didn’t go out of town on a vacation and the fact that it was a working day today and I had to go to work. Today was all about different flavoured yummy cakes, calls, messages and not to forget the innumerable birthday wishes I received on Facebook.  Birthdays always have a charm, they give you that warm fuzzy feeling from within and makes you feel like you are on top of the world. It’s all about mixed feelings. It’s painful to wipe cake off your face but it is great to see the delight on your friends face when they slather you with cake. It’s painful to realize you are ageing but it’s great to know that your friends are with you on this journey. In this fast paced world when no one seems to have enough time for anything, birthdays are ways of reminding you that your friends still care about you and they remember you.

One of the best gifts I received today was from my husband. He showed me what I am in a totally different light. I want to share this video he created for me on my birthday. This is something that I will cherish forever.
