    A new door. A meeting of the clan. No falling (for a bit) raspberry gin, AND a caterpillar cake. Lots to be thankful for here :)
    Chin up, chest out. You may feel 105 sometimes but I'm sure you look 21. OK, 22 then...
    Happy birthday :)

    The best thing about having birthdays, is having birthdays!

    The day will come when you stop having them - so enjoy them all!
