Sixty five today!

[Kendrew]

So....it's my birthday today and yes!... life isn't perfect, but I've much to be grateful for and I'll continue to try and embrace every precious day whilst managing my PMR. It's life's little wins that count and I'm here....standing, and I can honestly say.... I'm happy. 😊

[SheffieldJane]

Happy Birthday dear Kendrew! 🎂 You look half your age and fabulous!

[Kendrew in reply to SheffieldJane]

Oh bless you. Thankyou ❤

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Are you sure this isn’t a photo taken on your 45th birthday?

Have a lovely day and spoil yourself. You have my permission to have a glass of wine 🍷and a cake 🧁 but don’t tell anyone 🤫.

As for life not being perfect, it would be boring if it were - wouldn’t it???

Remember, the little wins can add up to a big win. 💐 xxx

[SnazzyD]

Gosh, I hope I look like that at 65! Have a great birthday and remember it is scientifically proved that birthday drinkies and cake don’t have carbs or alcohol when it’s your birthday. Thanks for your input here.

[Kendrew in reply to SnazzyD]

Thankyou.......well....if it's scientifically proved! 😄

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Kendrew]

Too right it is!🤣

[Charlie1boy]

And Happy Birthday from me too 😇. You always write such positive and empathetic posts.

From one Yorkshire person to another ( at least I seem to remember you are from Yorkshire). Maybe, you just lived there for a while?

[Kendrew in reply to Charlie1boy]

You're right....I'm a Yorkshire lass with Yorkshire blood in my veins. I moved down to Essex with hubby. Thankyou for my birthday wishes.

[Charlie1boy in reply to Kendrew]

👍

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Kendrew]

Glad to see you haven't succumbed to the "Essex" way, and staying au naturelle.. 😏

[Kendrew in reply to DorsetLady]

Hahaha 😂

[Telian in reply to Kendrew]

So did I! Moved to Essex in 1988 due to hubby’s work. Enjoyed every minute. Recently moved back to Yorkshire to be near our older Son now that we’re old!

Belated Birthday Greetings.

💐🎂🥂

[Baner]

Have a super super day

[Kendrew in reply to Baner]

Thankyou.

[Twopies]

happy birth day! I think I remember 65. I always tell birthday people to eat cake, lotsa cake. Use your best judgment, ok? 🎂

[Kendrew in reply to Twopies]

Haha! I may have lost my 'judgment' skills today! Thankyou

[tangocharlie]

Happy birthday from me, a fellow positive spirit. Lovely photo, you have given me something to aim for, I'm currently 62 so am optimistic I'll look great like you in 3 years time and my moonface will be gone. x Actually I'm almost chuckling, as the experts say we are too young to have PMR at our age we don't officially exist LOL

[Kendrew in reply to tangocharlie]

Well from one 'non existent' person to another then...thankyou for your good wishes. You look perfect to me TC. Xx

[Dochaz]

A very happy birthday to you 🎂🍷🎉I read all your posts and replies to posts and harvest so much info from them. Thank you for your input. I'll be raising a glass of Côtes du Rhône to you this evening in France 💐

[Kendrew in reply to Dochaz]

Thankyou ❤ That sounds just perfect. Cheers.

[herdysheep]

Very happy birthday from me too. Pretty sure I didn't look as youthful as that all those years ago at 65! 🍸🍾🍰

[Kendrew in reply to herdysheep]

Thankyou. I'm sure you did and probably still do.

❤

[jinasc]

Happy Birthday and a lovely future...............

I looked for a flower named Kendrew and smiled when I saw this one:

I loved it, strong and independent.

[Kendrew in reply to jinasc]

Oh wow! Didn't know there was one. Amazing.

[Kendrew in reply to HeronNS]

Thankyou ❤

[Kendrew]

Well, I think I'm living proof that even with an autoimmune disease (that at times can prove to be quite debilitating) it's still possible to enjoy yourself.I've had a lovely day out with my hubby, punctuated with rest periods for a lovely lunch and then a few more in some carefully selected tea rooms, so I've not had to do any more walking than I was capable of and the day has been perfect.

The celebration probably wasn't quite as 'active' as it might have been a few years ago, when we'd have probably gone for a days walking in the countryside, but I've learnt to adapt to my situation and simply take joy from what I can still do. There's always joy to be found if you look gor it.

I am quite tired tonight but in a good way...not a 'wiped out way'. So another birthday and another year older.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

[Broseley]

Happy birthday! Enjoy your day!

[Kendrew in reply to Broseley]

👍👍😘😘

[granofthewest]

Well said Kendrew. A positive attitude helps me get through. One day hopefully we'll all be at the end of this but in the meantime we've got to learn to smell the roses, watch amazing skies, feed the birds and love the life we have as best we can. My only disappointment is not being able to walk like I did and enjoy nature in the wild. One day.......

[Kendrew in reply to granofthewest]

Just keep hoping 🙏 because that's what keeps us going. Sometimes we can't always change things but if we don't jump off that cliff we'll never know if we can fly.

[GrannyJane]

Hope you had a very happy day and may your year improve from day to day! You look lovely, a kind and caring person. You deserve to be surrounded by love, this forum, which you add so much to, certainly shows you are greatly loved and appreciated. Keep glowing!🙏😘💐

[Kendrew in reply to GrannyJane]

That's so kind of you. This forum though has taught me everything I know, and the knowledgeable people who've advised me (and many others) are the reason I'm in a much better place than I was just after diagnosis four years ago. They are my true heroes here.

[Knit11]

Happy birthday! Wonderful to hear a positive atitude that is reflected in the way you look! Cheers🍾🥂!

[Highlandtiger]

Sorry, late to the party 😉 but happy birthday from me too! 🎂 I remember now (from a previous thread) that I’m a few days older than you. Don’t know about you but 65 sounds a lot older than 64 somehow!

[Kendrew in reply to Highlandtiger]

Haha! Happy birthday to you too...and yes.....it does!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Kendrew]

Yes, but not as old as 75! 🤔

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to DorsetLady]

Or even 70!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to PMRpro]

… better than the alternative though… well most days 😂🤣
