I got to enjoy eating my two fave #seafood for my birthday getaway - #crab & #clams. Due to the unexpected blizzard that hit, we weren't able to go out for crabbing or hiking as previously planned. Which wasn't a bad thing since I wasn't 100% well yet. I actually preferred just hanging out at the suite. We played board/card games, watched some funny shows, played billiards, enjoyed multiple home spa treatments, hot tubbing to ease muscle aches(fab to sit in as it snowed too, covered so it was pleasant), reading books, listening to music CDs, playing rain drums & doing fun watercolour art. Really lovely, quiet & relaxing friends bonding time over my birthday getaway.

This is the first birthday I've happily celebrated with friends in several years. I'm glad they took me away for a relaxing celebration of my existence.
I'd been too depressed/too overloaded with CPTSD to want to celebrate since 2019. It took me years to recover from being brainwashed into thinking I was worthless/not a valuable person. I am never going to allow anyone to treat me like that again. I am not & have never been - worthless. I have much value. I deserve love, kindness & respect.
