Tired Sentiments...

It's my birthday tomorrow, and I always get a little sentimental. I'm also tired, so it could get even worse! lol However, my plan is to do the 'sentimental' bit tonight, and to have it forgotten about by tomorrow. :)

It's nothing much, it's just that birthdays are special days to me, and that includes my own. And I get kinda sad about the people who aren't going to share it with me. There are friends who are no longer part of my life, whom I still miss.. one in particular whose birthday wishes I will miss terribly. Then there are those who haven't been in touch for ages, and have probably even forgotten.

But... there are plenty of people who are in my life, and they're the ones who are important. I'm looking forward to getting a cuddle from my girls, and spending the day with my hubby. I've already recieved a lovely card from one friend, and I hope I'll get a few good wishes from others.

So it's time to say goodnight to those sad sentiments, take myself to bed.. and wake up another year older! Yikes!

Horoscopes

Do you believe in horoscopes? I don't put much faith in daily readings.. after all, one prediction covers 1/12th of the population, so it's hardly individual.

However, I do believe that star signs have a big influence on us, and who we are. Again, I'm not saying the population can be divided into 12 personalities, as your sign depends on many things.. the actual day, and even the actual time.

Saying that, I am a very typical pisces. If you read most descriptions of a pisces, you're reading a pretty good description of me.

Out of all the horoscope sites that I've pottered around in my time, this one has impressed me most:

And if you're interested, this is where you can find out more about me:

Two bits in particular jumped out at me:
"Being a highly emotional individual works both for and against you, and your sensitivity will cripple you from time to time as you absorb both the good and bad vibrations from people in your environment. Learning to become just a little more thick-skinned wouldn’t be a bad idea, Pisces."

"Often you have a strong desire to simply get away and escape from the pressures and responsibilities of your daily routine and "life"."

Both very true!

Doors & Windows

How does that phrase go.. "When God shuts a door, he always opens a window"? I never really got that.. why shut a perfectly good door, and then make us crawl, probably very ungracefully, through a window?!

Of course, I get the general meaning, and it can be interpreted in many different ways. Recently a good friend, someone I used to really care about, decided to step out of my life.. and she's made sure the door slammed firmly shut. It's been a long journey, as you can tell just from a few posts here, but I've finally accepted I can do nothing about it.

However, as always, other people have stepped into my life.. some have come and gone in a short time, but have offered me something whilst they've been around. Others have stepped in, and I have a good feeling that they're going to stay. :)

Hmm, there's a thought... maybe they're the ones who have to crawl through the window? Hopefully they're manage more gracefully than me!

It Returns!

I'm back!

Both of my blogs became a little neglected.. this one mainly because I forgot about it! Oops! Anyway, the other day, I finally remembered about it, found the URL, and showed it to someoneone. I then went out in the car, and the first song that came on the radio was Fix You, the subject of my last post! Creepy! hehe

I've deleted a couple of old posts on here that just seemed too negative when I read them. The rest, I hope, are more about growth, and learning to deal with things, so they're staying. And maybe I'll remember to ramble some more on here now.....
