Turning 31...

There is something about having a birthday that makes me overly emotional... this year most of my family were away so it was a very low key day.  I went out for a pedicure and coffee with my sister and received a few birthday messages from those who knew it was my day (it is not on FB so only a few people know the actual date).

I can honestly say that despite the day being average, I am pumped to start a new year and it be the actual year of me.  It has taken me 31 years to realise that I am worth it and that my body needs to be looked after.  

Whenever I give cards to my nieces and nephews I write a prose about their character and personality or what they are doing at that age.  I have done this since they were babies with the view that one day they will have a continual record of what they were like as they were growing up.

so.... my birthday card to myself...

I am really proud of myself for taking control and I am looking forward to a year of finally feeling great and doing things for me! 31 is the new 20!!!
