Today . . .


Today is my day and I am going to live every moment of it.  Its 20 past six and I've already said my prayers, read my scriptures, played my game, checked my e-mail, checked my facebook, done my twitter and instagram and here I am talking to you.  Sounds like the start of a good day.


It looks like it is going to be a sun shiny beautiful day.  Mind you over here in the UK, that can change in a few minutes, but for now, the skies have only a few clouds in them and they are a brilliant blue. 

  

These are my favourite kind of clouds.  Fluffy ones.  Nice and white, with just a few shadows to make the white bits even prettier.  Thank you God. 

 

I so wanted to stay up late enough to see meteor showers last night, but alas . . .  I am so NOT a night owl, and so I slept right through them, but Mr Man in the Moon hung around long enough to wish me a Happy Day this morning.  Thank you Mr Man in the Moon!


I have a pot of water coming to the boil on the stove . . .  because this is what I am having for breakfast. 

  

Kraft Mac and Cheese 

Coz you only turn 62 once.
And I love
it. 

And I will eat it with my favourite fork because I have one of those.  A favorite fork.  Its heavier than the others. I like it.



Marks and Spencers sent me a gift this morning.  I got to pick two of my favourite offers.  That doesn't happen every day.  So I have to spend some money to get it.  That's ok.  I don't mind.  The thought is what counts, right?  ♥


Todd brought me a ring sizer home from town yesterday and I know what size I need and so I ordered my ring.  Yes, I went for the cross one. I couldn't find the crown. That's okay, I don't need a crown to prove I'm a princess.  


 We've had lots of belly rubs and will have a few more when I get done here.  I love early morning belly rubs.  They're the best. ☺

 

I get to go to church today and partake of the Sacrament.  Its not every birthday that you get to do that. Only the ones that fall on a Sunday.  So today is extra special because of that!  Yay!   


When I get home from church I'm going to call my mom.  I have talked to my mom on every birthday since I was born.  That is 62 times.  What a special blessing that is!  God is good!


I'm going to get takeaway pizza for supper.  I love pizza and I love takeaway pizza. Mostly because I don't have to make it myself.  If I was at home in Nova Scotia, I would order it from my cousin Hal's place, Pizza Factory (Middleton, Nova Scotia just in case you are interested Its the best.)  I am not home in Nova Scotia, so I will order it from Papa Johns in Chester, because they deliver.  I know its a Sunday and I shouldn't be doing that, but  . . . today I am going to make an exception.


Tonight I am going to watch the Season 3 Finale of Poldark.  It's not every birthday you get to spend time with Ross and Demelza Poldark either.  What a bonus! 


And I get to do all this and more with him.  What a lucky girl I am.  God IS good! 

62 is going to be a truly "Banner" year! 


I just hope I don't tire him out too much!

  

So grate for my Heavenly Father and all that He blesses me with.

A thought to carry with you . . .

  1. Happy happy birthday. May you have the very happiest days every I read your letter to yourself and I wish I had read a letter like that through my teens. I also enjoyed your breakfast plans and your determination to make the best of your special day.

    I am sorry that I didn't write yesterday. We were all so tired and today has been a pj day. Most of today has been interspersed with long naps. Beth threw a brilliant party. She was a fantastic and caring hostess. This baby is anxiously awaited now. Seven weeks to go and so many pretty things waiting to be used. Anyway enjoy your special day and ask Todd to give you a huge hug from me. God bless.

  6. Hi Marie, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎁🍕🎂⛪🎈🎉 Hope you have a fantastic day!!
    I'm not far behind you, the big 60 next month! How fabulous to do all the things you love on your special day.

    I stayed up last night till 5 oclock to see the meteor showers (I'm an insomniac so thats not a problem, unfortunately). We're so lucky where we live now. We face the River Mersey estuary and the Irish Sea so I just opened the kitchen window wide and sat there with a blanket wrapped round me! It was amazing, so sorry you couldnt stay awake for it. I'm hoping when we go to the Hebrides next month that there will be lots of clear skies at night to watch the heavens!

    Enjoy the rest of your day and your pizza of course!! Lots of love xxx
