My birthday lesson,

To all my Facebook “freinds” thank you for the lovely birthday wishes. And I agree this is going to be an amazing year, although Ian it would have been nice if you’d told me yourself instead of telling me to check my Facebook. To everyone who mailed me you guys rock, yes even the automated TB bot and the SANBS reminder service.

To those of you I had no expectations of you proved true to form. To those of you who forgot, pretty much par for the course with certain of you but after 9years this excuse really is wearing thin. Punishment is due to someone and trust me the last 4 months have nothing on what this is going to get you :). To the one person who did surprise me thank you. And to the rest of you :P Actually it wasn’t a bad day considering it was spent alone with the 4 walls.

Although this birthday has taught me something and sadly it wasn’t anything good. But it is a lesson that was a long time in coming. Yes I was recently accused of being cold hearted and now I’m about to become hard hearted as well, I will no longer be the one spending weeks looking for the perfect gift, I will no longer wrack my brains for the message that will mean something to the recipient and I most certainly will no longer be getting up at all sorts of odd hours to make sure my “freinds” start their day with good wishes.

And no it’s not because I’m disapointed, quite the contrary really. Its simply because I have come to the conclusion that some people are worth the effort and they will still get the best of me but the rest are going to get exactly what I get from them, the bare minimum.

So yes this is the first day of a new year for me and yes this is a new me and yes I do love, sadly way too much in certain cases and I have laughed today at the pathetic excuses I’ve heard, I have even learnt a thing or two but most importantly I am going to LIVE for ME and those I LOVE.................So yes Happy Birthday to me
