Happy Birthday to me!
It was my first time actually organising something for my birthday in a long time!
I didn't like making a big deal of my birthday and organising a party because I used to think that implies asking for presents! However, this year I decided to celebrate with friends because I start seeing it as an opportunity to spend time with ppl who care for me. I always enjoy doing something sweet for ppl who I love, so I guess by allowing ppl who care for me to show their appreciation on my birthday is not only a gift to me, but also to them! I guess what I have been improving the most in the last year is not being so harsh on myself and loving myself more.
My birthday started with few email blessings, the whole section singing happy birthday to me (slightly embarrassing) and a home-made chocolate cake, following by a free lunch, a card, flowers delivered to the reception, jewels, a bookmark, Movie money, a cooked dinner and a card with a lotto ticket. This morning I decided to make an effort and bake chocolate cookies for everyone who came to my birthday outing. I was quite pleased to see everyone having fun at bowling, dinner and movie. It was a quite delicate situation to bring all my friends together, but everyone was really nice to each other and no one seemed to be left out. There were ppl coming and going, but I managed to spend time with everyone :) I also got some candles, a book, a hand-made pencil, a free dinner, and a free hot chocolate :) Oh! And ppl loved my first attempt of those yummy chocolate cookies!!
Thank you guys, for making my birthday so joyful :)
P.S. I also got a chocolate fondue set from the work gang, flowers and an engineer mug on 20/Jan - another celebrating party.
