It's my birthday today !

I am 50 and I have blogged! The blog is not all sweetness light and optimism about being 50 though, so please be warned!

I have laid out 10 angel cards on the desk and would like the first person who comments here to pick me one - any number from 1 to 10, starting from the right. Thank you!

I have just had my postman deliver a huge box - in it was three star shaped balloons, tied together, and a card about the year 1957, and chocolates too! Inside the card it says 'For all the times you bought us balloons on our birthdays - Happy Birthday!!! 50 years young!! Enjoy your day. My love forever. It is signed by my eldest daughter. Ah! Sweet. It was always a tradition when they were young, that we went down the town and bought them a helium balloon.

    Thank you Un Peu - trust you to pick a weird one! Its is 'Purification'. The longer explanation says 'Let a shower of light cleanse your thoughts, feelings and actions. Wash away the drama that covers your essential nature'. I will have to ponder on that one.

    Happy Birthday, Faith! From one Taurean to another, you picked the best month in which to be born! I hope you continue to have a lovely day and hear from everyone you love. Your daughter sounds like a sweetheart - look at those balloons and read the note over again and just bask in the sunshine of your special day.
