Its my birthday today. It is the big five zero for me. I have had a great life, lots of ups  and downs. The downs were for a good reason, thow I did not think so at the time but  it was for me to be were I am now. Life is full of surprises and I am ready to comfront new ones.

 

  

I received a lot of emails from back home, South Africa, it is wonderful to know that my friends have not forgotten me after six years. I want to share a beautiful poem Beulah send me.

Happy Birthday

Hope lovely surprises are coming your way

To make your Birthday a wonderful day

Smiles and laughter, joy and cheer

New happiness that stays throughout the year

Hope your birthday brings all these and more

Filling life with surprise and joys galore!

So on this very special day

I would like to say to you

I hope you'll always find happiness

In whatever you may do.

Another candle on your cake

Well there's no need to pout

Be glad that you have strength enough

To blow them all out!

Wishing you your happiest birthday yet

A birthday too special To ever forget.

So many wishes

So many smiles

Too many memories

Too few words With one big Birthday

Happy Birtday!

It's your birthday and I can't be there

But I'll send you a special birthday wish and a little prayer

Have a happy birthday

I hope that all of your birthday wishes come true

May you have a great time today and find happiness in everything you do.

Happy Birthday from the heart

Cause that's where all great wishes start.
