My 804th Birthday or The blessing of friends

I am writing this post because I want to keep a record of yesterday and I want to express my gratitude to all those wonderful friends who made their best to brighten my day. It was my birthday. I became 804 years old. It could have been a day I would remember for how crappy and lousy it had been. Instead, I'll remember it as the day the Higher Powers showed to me that despite some bitter events, I am still blessed with the friendship and love of the most wonderful people.

It started since the night of August 10th with lots and lots of fireworks, organized by the Knight of the Dragon Order, Sir Jeffrey Hargett. Must add he also made sure the day would end on the highest note. :D Thanks for that!

Then it came the very eclectic August 11. While an argument very early in the morning set very dark clouds on my horizon, on the other side I got a Tsunami of good vibes, smiles and nice gestures from my dear friends from the Fellowship of the Dragon, who threw the funniest on-line party for me. (Thank you Alex, Mark, Jo, Eva, Melissa and Liz).

The fellowship even organized a lot of dance with old wizard and many dragons included, of course!

And a piñata!!! Melissa had too much of Jezebel's punch and mistook me for the piñata. Yes, I remember that, Mel! (BTW, thanks River Fairchild for Jezebel and her punch. :))

Grandmother Dragon, Jo Wake, took care of the invitations...

And more cake arrived! (With 150 dwarves around, you don't expect one would do, do you?)

Someone brought decorations too!

And here it is a picture of good friends rocking the party. "One does not simply invite the Captain Ninja and expect him to come without Mini-Alex." Yes, Mini-Alex gave us a concert. The dwarves went crazy, not to mention the Ninja Muse. Captain Ninja had to use his "diversion clones" to keep her away from him. :D

Don't ask me where the ninja turtles come from. It's a looooooooong story that involves Melissa's birthday, Mark's nightmares, bleeding eyes and lots of laughter. Can't tell you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

During the whole day I got a lot of love too on FB!

And plenty of other very thoughtful notes that I would like to put here but I can't. Yet each of them touched my heart and meant a smile. That means I smiled about 34 times, just on the Facebook side. That alone outnumbers the frowns I had in the day.

By the time the clock said my birthday was over and it was time to go to bed, I took a moment to recount the joys vs. the bitter moments. While on one side things seemed to tell me dragon stinks, on the other side lots and lots told me how much I mean to them in every way they found possible. My conclusion was that my 804th birthday was the best birthday I've had so far.

THANK YOU, my friends, for making me feel happy to be alive and happy to have you in my life. You give meaning to it. The dragon heart is yours!

Dragon Hugs!
