Today I turn a year older - but not much wiser - and have spent most of the day smiling, laughing, being happy. Calls, text messages and emails from friends from all over the world have made the day a joyous one, with the constant and loving presence of my small family making it, as always, that little bit extra-special. Chocolate has been the theme of the day (if there were more days like this one, I would be horizontal rather than vertical as a bodily presence!) and from cake to cookies to candy, the bon mot has been the semisweet brown stuff of which dreams can be made.
But today is also a good excuse not to write anything meaningful, beyond a happy burble, in this blog. After all, it is my birthday and I am allowed to be sort-of-incoherent, giggly and rather pleased with my life. Over the past year, freed from interruptions and disturbances, it has been good. No unnecessary incursions, no unbalancing presences, no unwanted invasions of my privacy, personality or psyche. And that, methinks, is the best present a girl can ask for, diamonds, chocolate and Jimmy Choo sandals best relegated to the back shelf of an already overloaded closet!
Happy day, all ye folks wherever thou may be!
