Thank you! Sorry for late reply but been busy weekend.
Well it was a surprise meal and party for me.
15 of the walking group,all waiting there for a buffet meal .I was just so touched and moved> They sang Happy Birthday and cheered! Then one of the guys arrived dressed as Santa, with two pillow cases filled with presents, cards, flowers!
Well I never had a full party to myself before for my birthday. Even my 21 was shared ,as we were hard up students and a group of us did it.. With family ,usually a meal.
I was almost in tears. After the meal we all went to my friend's house to continue the party,where there was a cake with candles ,a photo of me out walking ,on the icing. The house was all decorated and lots more food and drinks.
The party was great! To be honest my 60th birthday has in many ways been the best and biggest I have ever had! As I said before my life has changed, and instead of being a quiet,shy, wee wife n social worker, slightly overweight with a very quiet predictable life,only one or two close friends,I now am pretty fit,slim, have such a busy, active life at the centre of a lot of good friends, and family.
All thanks to MLC and WAH!
Oh and GAL and DBs, all the other LBS!
So all I can say is to go for it,while it still hurts, but you will get there, your own place in the end too! Take care LR, I hope things are moving forward for you too.
