age is just a number baby!

aren't you like 40 already!

i kind of feel like i was busy living life

& suddenly the decades have slipped by ...

but you know it is all good!

had a little party last night with a few friends & family

was great fun
loved my gorgeous birthday cake
made by my super talented friend Naden ...
Thankyou so much!!
4 candles - one for each decade

i wanted to say some stuff to them all

about how much they mean to me

how much i love them

how i feel truly blessed having such quality people in my life

i figure they in their make up of the how i know them, actually reflects my life

see told you that i'd get onto a reflective post at some point!

its taken me 2 weeks to 'take' to the concept of turning 40

but i think i've done with style & a little sparkle!!

what makes the sum of us?

can a person's life be summed up with statistics?

this is kind of what i had to say last night... 

in some interactive way i listed a bunch of my  life's stats ...
