Happy Birthday! I hope the rest of your day is very special and you do something nice for yourself.
I've always found that wearing a rubberband on my wrist and snapping it helps in an emotional time. Others have told me that thinking of something else, i.e., turning your focus to something else, helps as well.
It's okay that you were emotional, after all it is your special day and let's face it, you didn't expect a gift from your h today.
Continue moving forward.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
