I had an elaborate post about my birthday celebration(s) last weekend but my AT&T DSL crashed when I was almost about to post it. Sorry, I can't face trying to recreate it all.
But what I can say is this.
Presents are nice, and celebrating with fabulous food and drink are nice, but the nicest thing anyone can get for their birthday is love, affection and friendship.
I may not be the world's most beautiful, youngest or richest person on Earth, but I have loving family and friends, and that makes me the luckiest.
To those who wished me well in words and deeds, I love you all more than words or pictures can convey.
Thanks, everyone.
