For quite a few days I have been sitting and wondering what I can write here, my mind has been blank and without inspiration to scribe anything witty or of which could be of any interest to anyone...
Then came my Birthday today and with it returned my inspiration and willingness to write!
This child (hahaha!) that was born in London during the "Summer of Love" is celebrating one more birthday today! (Is it my imagination or do they seem to come around much more often once we get past the age of 30?!)
So I found myself looking in the mirror this morning, feeling sorry for myself and trying to detect any signs that I am one year older, seeing if I need to drag myself to the gym and looking for any ageing that people say us men become "distinguished" with... and I am happy to say that I couldn't see any difference from a year ago, apart from one more change of hairstyle... but then maybe I need glasses! haha
No, from now on I've decided to "freeze" my Birthday in my mind, body and spirit and celebrate it as if I am 30 every year because I still feel like I'm a great big kid! and I'm not afraid to say it!! :)
Happy 30th Birthday to me!

Hi Brit, I clicked on 'Life is Sweet' in my profile to see who else loves that film ... and found you! Lovely poetry - I'll be back to read more.
p.s. I've just had a zero birthday too but it was +10 years
Only me again. I just wanted to say I have read the old post about losing your mum. My husband lost his mum to cancer too 5 years ago and it was devastating. I wrote about mothers - see http://gone-back-south.blogspot.com/2008/02/mama.html
Keep writing Brit, you're good at it.
