A belated but heartfelt thanks to everyone who made my birthday a special day.

My family for the phone calls, private messages, silly Facebook posts (yes, I’m looking at you, Bee!) and virtual and real hugs.

My work colleagues for the birthday card, the cake which I shared with fellow November babies, Josica especially for the roses and the homemade tiramisu.

My friends online and offline who remembered the day and sent messages throughout the day; having friends in all time zones mean I celebrate my birthday well over 24 hours. Thank you all.

Another year over, another year wiser I hope. Looking forward to the challenges of the year ahead and making new memories and achieving more life goals.
