Another Year, Another Birthday..

With Many things that Facebook introduces I stumbled upon one that tells you, your Most used words. The funny thing is When I checked it out my most used words were; " Birthday, Birthdaymood, Birthday Month, Birthday Celebraton. I then realised that Boy! Do I love celebrating my existance. So my birthday is an excuse to do so.

My Birthday falls on the 27/10 and from my previous post you are all aware i celebrated it for the whole month and till date i still get birthday wishes... Its never to late i tell them.

If you follow me you would have seen a post about my Birthday Eve Celebration. The weekend after mybday was a another phase to my celebratory Month and where else than London  as the backdrop....all courtesy of my Friend Tsholo.  I got to London around 3 pm on a Saturday, my intention was to rest for a little while before we go out for dinner. But No, my friend had made an appointment for me , it was a surprise, i didn't know what it was until i got to this place. It was a beauty makeup session. At the end of the session my beauty was admittedly MAGNIFIED.

Then I went back home to get ready for this 5 course dinner at a very beautiful restaurant at Canary Wharf, Canada Square. Gosh the view was amazing, the food was very good. This place was just fit for a fabulous lady like myself and my friends, Celebrating with a style. Enjoy the pictues.

    This was a table booked for us just by the window to enjoy the view..

     The lady of the moment. Birthday gal                 Wonderfully and Fearfully made

    I are a great amount on this night. If I drunk alcohol, this would have been the night to get drunk.

   

A five course meal was De Trop!

           The girls:

So I called this night a closing ceremony for the celebration month, It was a super Night.

        MY LIFE, MY STORY........

           

2015 Birthday EVE.

Last year was my big 40 and there was no way I was going top last year's celebration. So this year  instead of paying importance to the one day I decided why not celebrate for the whole of October. Like a  Birth Month. Haha, Yea I like celebrating this life!

Unlike many who really get saddened by adding a year to their age,  I personnally have a different take to this. I have come to realise that growing old is a blessing not a curse, my heart is so overwhelmed.   My younger sister died tragically at the tender age of 24 only to loose my brother a week later aged 36.  I often wonder how much they both would have established in their lives respectively. Their  lives were cut short so soon. And so I am thankful for the air I breath.  I guess that's why I am able to laugh out loud when young colleagues tease me about being older than them. 
I AM BLESSED.

October was my  month to take stock, to look back into my life. Counting my blessings naming them one by one , I was amazed at how far the Lord has brought me. How much He has blessed me. And to know that it's not over until the Lord Himself says so!!

As the Month drew to a close my friends werent going to let it end quietly. Dinner at the coconut bar and Kitchen was booked for my BIRTHDAY EVE . Yes i said it, 'EVE', one more night sleep before my birthday. Anticipation!! Awaiting my day with great expectancy.
                                                Good food ,Great Company , Great Night

                                                              Party💃💃💃

Time to go home it was...

                                       Lets keep going, better things yet to come. I see BEAUTY....

I know who I am. So I run my own RACE

When all your clothes shrink , don't you just hate it!! I happen to have one particular faithful dress that does not shrink. I don't know why. Lol

Any  last night my friends and I went for   Dinner at the Lovely Forbury's Reasturant and Wine bar here in Reading. It is such a beautiful place so I suggest for us to dress up, only to realise when I got home and tried on all my beautiful dresses that they had all SHRUNK. Except for this particular dress! When one of my friends asks me what I was wearing and I told her I was wearing my faithful dress, she shockingly said oh No, please don't. You wore this dress recently in Paris, you wore it for your birthday 2 years back! It's everywhere in your pictures! Don't wear it! I laughed!

Isn't it just how the society think though! Especially with this social media! You post a picture on Facebook with certain clothes then you can't wear them again.

I beg to differ.  Who set these rules? Who's idea is this?

I am not what I wear. My value is not in my clothes, neither is it on how many people like or dislike my clothes or my pictures. It is definitely not in how many people follow me on Instagram or how many likes I have on my Facebook page.

I am Myself, I am unique, I am not trying to be someone else. I am running my own race! Life is not a competition. The only competition I have is with myself. To improve myself not to try and be someone else! I LOVE WHO I AM.

I am celebrating life at every stage. LIFE IS WORTH A LIVING. I know who I am. I am who God says I am. 

One day at a TIME .......
