As I try to create a birthday wish for you Alison, my dear girl, I realize that I have no programs here on this new laptop to make a special greeting. But I still wish you the happiest of birthdays, and hope you are having a blast on vacation!

Thank you everyone. It's just like me to be late to my own birthday :roll:

I want to go back to Italy, wow Vittorio Gassman and Charles Boyer voice, it's made me come over all giddy.

We had a lovely time, the weather was better than here but that couldn't have been difficult. Along with Lake Garda we saw Milan, Venice, Mentua, Bologna, Otzi the iceman, the Ferrari musuem and Parma. So I'm tired now.

I had the strangest birthday, I resigned from my job before I was pushed due to ill health. I was struggling more than ever with ill health before I went away, things aren't great now but I feel like I might be starting on the up (are you listening weather? Sun come out, that would do wonders). I didn't manage to get online before we went and I've missed being here so much. Plus I've missed movies, apart from Harry Potter, no point taking my DVDs for night time but the choice of Harry Potter could have been a lot worse at least they have a story line.

And now I have a question. Does everyone still feel like they are in their 20s and are just amazed at how the years have racked up? I can't be 42, I'm not grown enough I'm sure.

Vittorio Gassman, what choices Wendy, you know my taste :D

Rita Hayworth that's you Erik isn't it?

Please take care of yourself, Alison!! We are so delighted to see you back here.

No, thank goodness, I do not feel as though I am in my 20s and glad of it. I am not sure if it is just me, but when I look back on that overly serious doofus I was then, gratitude for the more relaxed, less anxious and worried me who exists now floods through me. Sure, there are trade-offs, and getting older can be annoying as hell. Yet, it's easier to express so many things without worrying too much what others think constantly as I once did. I notice things such as the change of seasons, enjoy the arc of life that I can trace in my contemporaries and younger people, and just keep trying to keep learning as life goes on. Clichéd as it may sound, "it's all good," especially when I appreciate the perspectives gained (that latter part is the trickiest for all of us, I suspect!).

WELCOME BACK ALISON!!!

Now how's THIS for perspective: Ohhhh, to be 42 again. Haha. :lol:

I am a woman of of... of beyond 42 and besides an ache-y left hip, I still feel young. Yes, I have a more mature perspective, but my outlook on things is still youthful.

You're only as old as you feel, they say. I'm glad your trip went well ( sounds hectic allllll those places, but fun ) and that you're on the UP side of mending. Welcome back.
