Today – 45 years, 7 hours and 10 minutes ago – I made contact with this world for the first time (unless reincarnation is real…\ud83e\udd14) I would like to believe that it was a good day and that people celebrated…I would not really know, because it was a Saturday, and knowing my family, they celebrated regardless \ud83d\ude02 Baby or no baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My birthdays used to be spectacular!! Always a party with lots of people, music and lots and lots of drinking…IMO always fun, good times with lots of shenanigans! But this all changed and is a part of the previous Jenny’s past…the fun one\ud83d\ude12 Like my ex said to me, the day he broke up: “You used to be fun, partying and excitement…Now it’s only neurologists, therapy and hospitals…”. In those days, I consoled myself with the ‘at least I still have my friends’ mantra…mmm apparently I was mistaken about that as well. Well you know what they say…It is what it is \ud83d\ude0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But all the ‘friends’ and ‘loves’ lost, made me realise how amazing and wonderful my children are! Always there for me, always loving me. Always making sure that this day of the year, is super-special, filled with love and care. All of it just for me! And wouldn’t you know it…I am not expected to be fun or exciting, they love me all the same. It feels funny in a way….I’m not used to so much attention. It’s hard to explain but takes me back to a time when I was a little girl! My mother was the last person (before my children) that made a woo-ha about the day I was born. I missed her special pampering for many years, after she passed away… I hope, I will never disappoint my children too much, that I will always be there for them and that I will always be enough – even when I don’t really have a sense of humour, my idea of fun is cuddling with my doggies, sharing a bag of chips… and the most exciting thing I do, is descending from the stairs too fast! They are growing up so fast and I’m just getting older! I’m grasping at every second with them and trying to stuff it into a part of my brain that will keep the memories…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time is precious my friends, but time is also fleeting…the time we have, is now – not yesterday…not tomorrow, but today. Never waste it, never take it for granted! Be grateful. Be thankful. Always \ud83d\udc96<\/p>\n\n\n\n
