Today I am 40

The skies are blue and the birds are chirping and I am turning 40 and making no apologies for it. I can see how some might look at this as a negative but in my eyes, I couldn't be more please with my life.

Make no mistake, I'm not saying that it's not without its trials, but i like to 
take times like these to reflect on what I'm thankful for. A husband that
has loved me for the past 20 years, 2 beautiful girls and a good
family. 

And even tho I don't celebrate my birthday in the traditional sense, I have 
taken it easy on myself today.  I got myself some good old movies, got my favorite lunch and brought it home and snuggled in for some time to myself,
While the girls tidied the house for me. Then it's off to date night with my hubby.

As I get older I have learned to take better care of myself so I can be a better wife and mother to everyone. I also look to other woman of a certain age in the blogging community that continue to
amaze me with their fearless style and attitude.
You know who you are citizen rosebud & Vix.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend 
As i know i will.

  2. Happy Birthday! I agree, birthdays and ageing are no big deal, it's just life. What is important is embracing what we have and enjoying it! xxx
