I had the best birthday this year and the celebrations aren't even over! It started with a 5:30 AM run with a good friend. She insisted we went for coffee afterwards (never hard to twist my arm for that one) and I realized she had been running with candles and a lighter in her bra the entire 7 miles. There is an old actor (maybe 75 year old man) who is always at the coffee shop at 6:30 when we finish our runs, and always drinking a beer. He sang Happy Birthday to me and all the staff and clients joined in. I haven't had happy birthday sung or blown out candles in 20 years. So fun to feel like a kid.
At night 3 of my friends planned the most incredible evening filled with good food, laughs, drinks and my closest friends (and family). I am such a lucky person.
And I got to blow out a candle again.
Unfortunately we didn't think to take a picture until several people had left, but we did manage to get a few with most of us.
I can't wait for all the fun adventures we have planned for this year, the other 40th birthdays we get to celebrate and this decade in general. Its such a privilege to get older!
