Happy Birthday to me!

I can't be I am confessing this but today is my
40thbirthday!!!
I guess like they say
"Growing old is inevitable, but, growing up is optional!"


I recently spotted a T shirt that said
"I am not 40, I am 18 with 22 years experience"
You just have to love that!!

Any way,
Happy birthday to me, no doubt my lovely family will spoil me rotten, so i will get back to you on that later.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, do YOU have anything fun planned?

CHEERS

Laura said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISH!!!!!!!!!
I do hope they did spoil you rotten!!! I really love that idea of 18 plus 22 years experience! I must admit though, I am much happier to be older and wiser than i was at 18... or 20 for that matter. I thought i had life all sussed out until it threw me a curve ball at 28!!! I am grateful for all i have learned, (have to be). wow, i am rambling a bit!!! I do remember you talking about your upcoming 40th and how you wanted to be fab at 40 and you did it!! congratulations to you!!!
lots of hugs and love,
laura xxx

Happy Birthday Trish! Sorry I'm a day late. 40 is so young these days, and I like the t-shirt motto - how true!!!
Have a great party this weekend. Great to celebrate these milestones. I see each year as a blessing, and try not to think about any of the ageing negative stuff. Cheers to you!! xx
