124: Plus one

I am today, Thursday 7th November 2013, officially 28 years and one day old. It's a crazy-odd thought. I'm not living the life that I always assumed I would come this age - not that I had the details down to a tee - as I'd always assumed some sort of career would be involved, if nothing else. Instead I'm at university, a mature student, and unsure about my course, but trying my hardest not to be too worried about what the future might bring. 

As this day coincides with a Thursday, I thought I'd follow Lisette's lead and note those things I am thankful for, now I'm a year older and all that. The little things really can make the biggest of impacts:
  • The time people took to wish me a Happy Birthday. Yesterday I received the largest amount of birthday wishes I ever have had and it very much warmed me to my core. You guys are awesome
  • My family, who helped make my birthday feel very special, despite us being apart on the day. 
  • Lush's Handy Gurugu hand cream, a birthday gift from my friend Emma, that has kept my dry, sore hands silky smooth since I popped some on in our 9am lecture this morning. 
  • My new scarf, courtesy of my parents, that doubles up as a wrap, thanks to it's ginormously-wonderfully size.
  • An evening spent in the company of my boy, outside of our flat.
  • Sofa throws that masquerade as curtains (or rather, blind-tucker-inners), keeping the wind at bay. 
  • Socks, and lots of them. To keep my toesies warm on these very nippy evenings. 
  • Lovely Lisette, who sent me a gorgeous birthday text that brought tears to my eyes.

You're the loveliest lady and you deserve every ounce of happiness. What goes around comes around, hence I'm sure very good things are on there way to you x

To my fabulous Tori's Tales comment'ers - I cherish each and every comment you take the time to leave me and, because of that, I reply to each and every one in return. If you have a Twitter account, then that's where you'll find me replying (because, let's be honest, I live on Twitter. In Twitter. Around Twitter. Twitter). If you don't then fear not, because a) this means you don't say stuff like the things above and b) I'll find you elsewhere.......
(*creeps you all out*)
