I heard on the radio that today has been named “Blue Monday” because it is a low point of the new year, when people are back in the work routine, skint after Christmas, and have nothing to do with their time until the weather improves. Well, January has always been a good month for me because tomorrow I celebrate my birthday, hooray! And yesterday we celebrated my daughter’s 8^th birthday, huge hooray!

Naturally my daughter’s birthday now overshadows mine, but I already have a collection of gifts from friends and family that I can’t wait to open, and I’m planning a day out with my mum if she feels well enough to leave the house. This weekend was busy with a birthday party and a shopping trip, and we loved spending time with everyone that we saw. No Blue Monday for this lady, just party all the way, and happiness for the life we have.
