How Does it Feel When Your Heart is Bursting with So Much Love and Gratitude?

Hi beautiful people,

Last weekend was my birthday weekend.

It was my birthday on Friday 9th June and I always like to book myself the day off to celebrate.

The celebrations continued over the whole weekend which was spent with the people I love most in the world; my family.

During the pandemic it really hit home how much I loved and valued my family. Not being able to see them was soul destroying, as it was for so many people.

I made a vow that once the pandemic ended and we could meet up with people again, I would make a conscious effort to spend more time with my family.

Being with them all weekend filled my heart with so much love and gratitude.

I picked my gorgeous grandchildren up after school on Friday and they stayed at my house all weekend. My sister and partner called for a couple of hours after work with my card and presents. On Saturday my 2 sons came and we had a Chinese for tea sat outside in the garden. On Sunday we all went to the beach and my auntie M and daughter in law came too along with my sons and grandchildren.

When I got home on Sunday evening, I spent some time reflecting on my birthday weekend and began to cry tears of deep, profound gratitude.

I also received literally hundreds of messages on social media from friends and from people I have never met sending me birthday blessings.

I feel so very loved and so very grateful.

I will always cherish my memories of the past few days with great comfort and joy.

Thank you to each and every one of you for all your love and support.

I really do appreciate you.
