Birthday moments

As the snow falls outside and makes no attempt to stick, I can happily reflect that I think life is pretty good at the moment. Even the fact that I have been thirty one now for almost two weeks doesn't phase me too much because I would like to think being another year older isn't a bad thing. Instead, it just makes me re-assess my priorities and realise what is most important to me right now and in the coming months. I had a great birthday and for the occasion itself, I spent it with amazing friends having a delicious steak dinner, seeing a show and enjoying a quick hotel stay. We saw West Side Story, which was a great performance for a show that doesn't leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy at the end of it. It even snowed during the few minutes it took to walk from the theatre to the hotel. I have to say this was very cool as my birthday is during the summertime back home in Australia so snow is definitely not a factor. I also got showered with birthday love at work, the Friday before, in the form of a very cool ice-cream cake featuring an edible photo of Jake Owen. My work desk looked like birthday had thrown up on it. Plus, all the cards and presents I received in the mail made me feel very loved knowing that I was being thought of by loved ones so far away. So another year older and hopefully somewhat wiser, but definitely with a lot of fun had along the way.
