When I was little I would have a list of all the things I wished for on my birthday.
I've always been a big birthday girl because it's the day I was put on this pretty planet and I love celebrating it. For years it was about how I could celebrate it with everyone around me and the older I am getting the more it seems to be about my gifts to myself.
The gifts I want to give me are things that money just can't buy ... I have a very special blog to do about my?adventures of?yesterday?and today but all I want to do is crawl into bed.
A friend of mine told me the other day that I should consider stopping the daily blog because I seem tired of it. I'm not! I'm just tired! I still find such importance in this blogging time and giving it up would be letting a very special relationship I have build with myself. But ..
All I want is one day where I don't have to blog! Mr Unexpected and I are leaving early on the morning of my?birthday?... 24 September for anyone who missed it! We'll be driving to the Magaliesburg and settling into the blissful escapism of the Mount Grace Country House and Spa for an entire day. It's what keeping me going at the moment. Knowing that bliss, beauty and luxurious?accommodation?and service are calling my name. Knowing that I'm not taking my laptop and that Mr Unexpected and myself are going to be far from the everyday distractions that have us talking about work for hours on end.
And my gift to me ... NO BLOGGING! I know that on Monday I will have so much to tell you about my very special birthday gift from the Mount Grace but as for Saturday and Sunday ... I'm breaking routine! It's true that some things are just priceless and no money can buy the gift of a well deserved escape!
9 days ...
