Michael's Guest Post

First off, big thanks for all the birthday wishes and comments. THANK YOU!

This is a special year, my son turns 25 and me 55. Later I will share a bit with about my son.

Here is how I spent my day.

I received a card earlier in the week from Starbucks offering me a free birthday drink and I saved for that morning and treated myself to a Venti Soya Carmel Macchiato....very delicious.

I purchased balloons which I had delivered at my work place. This created the space into a party all day long.

I also treated myself to a Jade plant. I will nurture it and remember how special I am and grateful for the many blessing of a life well lived.

After work, I met up with friends for our annual dinner get together to celebrate our birthdays at a very small and quaint place called the Black Friars Bistro

My meal was: Black Tiger Shrimp & Roasted Vegetables

in a mild Thai curry with cilantro and coconut milk on a

black pearl medley with candied ginger and Thai basil

Chaucer’s Pub  

After dinner Jane picked me up and we went for a night cap at Chaucer’s Pub

Enjoying the warmth

Thanks Jane, for a wonderful birthday.

"Life itself is a gift.
It's a compliment just being born:
to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing,
work, make love, for this particular lifetime.
Today, let's give thanks for life.
For life itself. For simply being born!"

For You Dad

“You taught me how to talk; you even held my hand and made me walk. You filled my mind with knowledge and understanding that I will never be able to learn if not for you. Thank you for everything!

I love you Dad.” Dane Duhaney

This is Dane and I about 22 years ago. I am most proud of him and the relationship we share. He gave me the ok to share what he wrote in his birthday card to me here

This year he will be 25 and we are planning a big celebration in South Beach Miami.

I feel very special to be included in your lives through Jane’s blog and thank you again for your love and support.

Thanks Jane for giving me this opportunity to share with you blog community of friends. Cheers.
