Life really does begin at 40!

I'm having such a wonderful birthday & it's only lunchtime!
I've had flowers delivered this morning from my Mom & can now actually look at the gorgeous roses that Mr B got me yesterday. *g*
I've been lucky to be given some beautiful presents - including some gorgeous jewellery from xanthelj & tallgreentrees. Mr B bought me an incredible pau shell necklace too, that has a definite 'Atlantis' feel to the design & the green tones of the shell.
I feel so lucky (lucky, lucky, lucky! Yes, I'm wearing Kylie's 'Darling' perfume that Mr B bought me! *g* Okay, I know it's slightly naff but I tried some when we saw the Kylie exhibition at the V&A & really liked it! *g*)
Oh, & Rask sent me a Yoda card that talks! LOL Love it, I do! *g*
And I'm expecting some family & friends to pop round for tea & cake this afternoon.

Thank you so much to everyone who has left me birthday wishes, pics, virtual gifts & cards. There are so many that I'm truly overwhelmed.
I have the best flist ever - you're so wonderful!
*hugs*

Also, do check out the absolutely brilliant McShep fic that my angel lantean_drift has written for me.

Just Another Feast by lantean_drift

She's captured the boys' voices so perfectly.
*dreamy sigh*
I just adore it.

And sweet almost_clara has drawn a romantic McShep illo for me.

Thank you all again - I really am having the most amazing day & feel very fortunate to have so many kind, sweet people that I call friend.
*hugs*

Thank you!
*hugs*
I have to admit that it hasn't bothered me that I'm 40. I can honestly say that I'm happier, fitter (& weigh less!) than I did when I was 20. *g*

YOU ARE MY HERO! I'm much healthier at 33 than I was at 23, and I'm hoping to keep it up.

Good for you too!
I really am so much happier now that I'm fitter - it's definitely worth keeping up. Plus I love to run! :-)
