More pictures to come, but suffice it to say that my 50th birthday party on Friday night was an evening I will never forget.... We watched About Time tonight (as it has become an annual birthday tradition for me), and these quotes from the movie help me soak up so much of the joy and gratitude from the last week.
· Tim : [voiceover] We're
all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is
do our best to relish this remarkable ride.
· Tim : [voiceover] And so
he told me his secret formula for happiness. Part one of the two-part plan was
that I should just get on with ordinary life, living it day by day, like anyone
else.
Tim : [voiceover] But
then came part two of Dad's plan. He told me to live every day again almost
exactly the same. The first time with all the tensions and worries that stop us
noticing how sweet the world can be, but the second time noticing. Okay, Dad.
Let's give it a go.
· Tim : [voiceover] And in
the end I think I've learned the final lesson from my travels in time; and I've
even gone one step further than my father did. The truth is I now don't travel
back at all, not even for the day. I just try to live every day as if I've
deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full
final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life.
