On March 2007, Saturday, I celebrated my birthday… a special day which signs a new year in my life. I have celebrated 43 years in this life as I have written in my blast at my 360 page.

I spent the day with plenty of shopping therapy. My favorite sport! I have visited the big Mall I left myself to be lost for more than 2 hours at the Papasotiriou bookstore and I left the place with 4 new books… my present to me for my birthday from me.

I bought a story of the world cultures, the "Heroes of history" a book written by Will Durant, a book of Erman Esse about the youth that comes as we get more mature, a book for the Greek ancient science and the "Warriors of the Light" of Paulo Coehlo, a book I have bought for second time. It is an edition I can have with me when I will travel. I like to read a page of it every night. It helps me calm my mind and improve me as a person.

After my birthday shopping... I added some more accessories at my collection, another one of my shopping hobbies and after I enjoyed my Starbucks coffee at the Mall I called my son to learn how was his day and if he was satisfied for the test he gave all day long in order to gain his Michigan Proficiency Certificate for English language. I heard him tired but more satisfied that last year's examination. I wished him good luck and I asked him if he would like to be with me and help me with my birthday cake. He agreed to come with me and after we picked up the birthday cake I had ordered we visited my friends' home.

Vasilis and Christina wanted to come at my home to be with me for the birthday party but I had no other guests and my daughters were both outside Athens so I decided to not disturb my God son from his regular program. Babies must stay at their program.

My birthday cake was chocolate with nuts and strawberries. Special.. as the day! Mitso and Froggy I have some pieces at my refrigerator for you...

I had placed one only candle at my cake… a candle with the shape of the question mark. When my son asked me why I did not place the right number of candles at the cake I told him that for sure the cake does not have enough space for 43 candles.

My sweet God son, Theodoros, helped me to turn off my candle and he enjoyed it a lot as you could see at the photo.

I came back last night and I opened my laptop just to check my last emails and I found so many wishes from all of you. I was like a child who opened her boxes with her birthhday presents. Each email was another present for me.

I found a Native American Spirit Card with the above wolf with many wishes from my friend Bear Warrior and the photo below with flowers that my friend Eleni from Konstantinoupolis sent me. Those are flowers from her garden. Priceless present for me.
