On the 28th of March, it was the 53rd birthday of a blogging friend of mine called Renee of Circling in my Head. I met Renee last year (online) during the time when my brother had cancer, and we have shared emails and visited each others blogs since. She is an incredible woman and her blog is a treat where she shares openly of her thoughts, her trials and her love for the life and lives around her. She is an inspiration and a lovely person to boot. I hope she doesn't mind I used this image from her site (I'll be checking to make sure)
Yesterday my cousin Jenni turned 40. I think it's come as a bit of a shock to her (I felt the same 18 months ago). Who would believe that we could be this old? Of course, being 'this old', she has a lot to show for her 40 years so far... a gorgeous family, lots of friends and a job that relies on her insight and an open mind and is both challenging and rewarding. She is adored by her children, her family and her friends. And me too.
Today is Angela's birthday. She is the creator of Miss Buttons and she is also the person who encouraged me to start blogging when I worked with her a few years ago. She continues to inspire me with her creativity, and her imaginative ideas are always a treat. Go wish her a happy birthday at Three Buttons!
And finally (for this week at least) it's my Mum's birthday too. Yes, this coming Monday my Mum turns 69. Incredible! When I was a child, people of 69 would have been considered 'oldies', but this generation is yet to step into their slippers and take a rest. My Mum is a regular golfer, has a wide group of friends, cooks a mean roast, still loves to body surf at the local beach, has travelled widely and is the best Mum in the world. What can I say? I love you Mum! Happy Birthday for Monday!And so. To all my favourite Arian's... Love and good wishes to you all. May your birthdays be celebrated in health and happiness and may you be surrounded by the people you love.

There's just no stopping an Aries! My sister is about to have a birthday, and she too is one of those people who is so detirmined to achieve so much. She will be body surfing when she is nearly 70,just like your Mum!
Why thank you Jacinta! You are too sweet!

Beautiful post. Happy birthday to everyone.
I love that photo of you with your mom. So joyful.
I'm glad to see that Renee almost cried because (shaking head in disbelief at self) I actually did! Sometimes I am just too sentimental for my own good! Love that painting. By the way it's my mum's birthday next week!
Hi,
Found you blog via a few others that I look at often.
This post reminds me of home (so far away) and being away from special people on a special day.
My mum turns 60 in September and I thought I would be going back to Scotland for it but things have changed and I no longer can.
Just like my dad's 60th 3 years ago I will write my mum a beautiful letter telling her everything she means to me in my life.
Thanks for a lovely heartfelt post!
thankyou for my birthday wishes (on my blog).....and happy birthday to all the special ones in your life.....i have a similar thing with aquarians...we ust click!
