Celebrations

Today, 23 September is a day of double celebration for us.

It marks the first day of spring here in New Zealand, or Godzone as we Kiwi's like to call it.  The spring blooms are already out, the days are getting longer and I can't wait for the warmer, sunnier days ahead - yay!


Today is also my husband Rick's birthday - hip hip hooray!



He is my soul mate and my world.  He is strong, kind, thoughtful, compassionate, funny and makes me feel cherished every single moment of every single day - sigh

He is the most amazing and important person in my life and I don't know what I would do without him.

Happy Birthday my love.  Thank you for everything you do and give me - yes, even that :) Thank you for your strength, your support, your comfort, your protection, your guidance and leadership, and above all, your love and for being you.

Oh nearly forgot - I promise to behave today .... no behaviour banishment required :)

  1. Hi Roz!
    Enjoy your wonderful New Zealand first day of spring. My family LOVES Flight of the Conchords from New Zealand, and of course who doesn't like kiwis?
    It is just nicely into fall here where we live, and the earth is getting ready for its big sleep, whereas you are just awakening. Enjoy.....and a big happy birthday to your hubby, Rick :)

  3. How wonderful to be looking forward to spring. We in the states are looking at fall. Spring is my favorite time of year. I got married in the spring. Had my only child in the spring. It's just a wonderful time to start a new, start fresh, etc. Here's wishing a Happy Birthday to your husband, and a happy celebration to both of you, Belle L.

    1. Thank you Cowgirl, from both of us. Yes, we call NZ Godzone, on account of our clean, green image.

      Rick did read the post and loved it. Brownie points for me? A hall pass maybe? Lol
