Historically I haven’t found my birthday too much of a thing to celebrate. But, the older I get the more I enjoy a special day just for me. And this year was no different. I woke up in the morning with a smile on my face, a smile that lasted all day! I took my morning walk as usual in the morning, had my usual breakfast, dressed up a little bit extra for work and left my apartment feeling like this would be a good day.

The whole day was full of greetings from all over, both from friends and family in Sweden and abroad. I also got a call from a flower shop that had flowers to deliver to me. Haven’t received flowers like that for some years now and it was a great surprise!

After work I walked down to the southern parts of the city where I enjoyed a very tasty dinner at a restaurant called “À la crêpes” in the company of my cousin and a german friend of mine. When returning home to my apartment I found the flowers outside my door, accompanied by some lovely greeting cards.

All in all it was a great day and I am already looking forward to next years birthday as it will be my 25th and take place on midsummer’s eve. It will be magical!
