On getting older…

“A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip.” ~Author Unknown

Birthdays, like new years’ days are a time for reflection. As I celebrate a quarter of a century of life, I look back on my past with mixed feelings. Like everyone I have had my good and bad times, things I regret, and things I’m proud of. However over the years I have gradually learnt that there is little point in dwelling on the past for long. So long as we learn from our mistakes and endeavour to do our best in the future then I’m optimistic that all of us will live fulfilling lives.

As the quote at the top shows, a birthday is a new start – a start of a new journey, which I intend to enjoy. I am happy with the place I am in at the moment, and for that LifeSIGNS can take some of the credit (along with my much suffering husband!) I am looking forward to the next 25 years, the challenges I will face, and the things which I will achieve.

I feel like the Queen giving a birthday speech!
