Sometimes, I feel so so so lucky to have such big-hearted people in my life. I often get a bit down and disappointed in humanity, but times like the weekend just gone, I realise there are some absolute gems in the world. It's sad that it sometimes seems so rare to meet people who are thoughtful, and genuinely care about others. I can't believe that I've had the good fortune to have such lovelies in my life. It's not just the lovely, funny and thoughtful presents, but the nice words in their cards, the hugs and just having them around me.
Dearie me, I'm gushing a lot. To sum up - I love my family and friends SO much, and here are some of the lovely things they gave to me for my birthday!
