Today I am 49 years old and I think I'm happier now than I've ever been in my life. Well, you know...except for those special days like the birth of my children, I was really happy then! I don't remember a time in my life when I was in an "up" mood for so long. I occasionally have a bad day but hardly ever. You know what changed? My attitude! I choose to be happy now!
It's sounds so easy but changing the way you think about things isn't always easy...it takes time! I've been working on it and I'm proud to report that it does work! A positive attitude goes a long way!
I made myself a small 3-layer 6" birthday cake last night! Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! I brushed camellia leaves with melted chocolate and firmed them up in the fridge and then pulled off the leaf. I made about 12 of them and got 5 that didn't break! Five is all I really needed so it worked out perfectly!!! I can hardly wait to taste it tonight!

I'm so happy to be the first one to wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I turned 51 on Sept. 14th. Just LOVE your blog and check it almost daily!
I can't believe I get to be the first one to wish you a Happy Birthday on your blog! You bring so much happiness and inspiration to all of us, it is only fitting that you should enjoy such happiness. You are an amazing woman with so much talent and energy and you do inspire all of us take what we have and make a beautiful life for ourselves. Your cake is absolutely lovely and I admire the way you just take charge and go pick some camellia leaves, coat them with chocolate and end up with this little masterpiece! May you have a wonderful day and a year filled with much love and happiness.

Happy Birthday! I will be 49 in a little over a month. Your words are encouraging. Thank you.
Well, good for you Cindy!
A very happy birthday, and many happy returns. That cake looks delicious - I'm not too far away (just over the hill) - how about I come over there and have me a piece, too?!!!
I agree with you attitude is everything - some days it's hard to keep the smile on, but lately I have been consciously choosing to be happy - makes life much better!
You have so many talents, and such a great attitude, life will just keep getting better and better for you!
As for today, I hope you have a fabulous, wonderful, spectacular, super-duper birthday!

Many happy returns of the day.
I am in total agreement with your philosophy on happiness.
Abraham Lincoln said that "most people are as happy as they make up their mind to be."
It's the wise soul who makes up their mind to choose happiness.

Happy birthday!
Your cake look delish. Your attitude is fab and so true.
Have a wonderful wonderful day=))
Happy Birthday Cindy!! I love your attitude. I need a lesson in that from you. I think I just got it. The cake looks wonderful and yummy. I will be 53 in December and Tuesday the 22nd was our 30th Anniversary! I am still amazed it has been 30 years since our wedding day. Where does the time go? Another indication of time passing....how old our kids are getting to be....sigh...better to have a good attitude and enjoy life the best we can while we still can. I am home sick this week and you know....I am enjoying being home. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to work, but alas I do. So if I am better by Monday, it is off to work I go.
Have a great day!!
Happy Birthday, Cindy!!!
You're absolutely right about the good attitude thing. It really changes your life when you DECIDE to be happy and have a great attitude.

Happy Birthday Cindy.
A positive attitude is everything! When I lost my hearing and became deaf at 39 it was my Faith in God and finding the positive, the beauty in life that gave me the courage to move forward. I will be 63 on Sunday. Lots of Sept birthdays here I see. I lost part of myself, the ablility to be spontaneou with people but there is so much beauty in life and your blog is one of those beautiful aspects that always makes feel good. You are inspiring, creative, warm and lovely. Your blog brings so much joy and inspiration to all of us. A very happy day and many many wonderful years ahead my dear Cindy.
Happy Birthday Cindy!That cake looks absolutely to die for!I can't believe the attitude issue you are writing about! I am facing my own birthday soon(fellow Libra)and have been on a major rethinking of my priorities and attitudes. I am also making attitude adjustments.(Does this have anything to do with getting older?) It isn't easy, it's one day at a time.
Happy Birthday, O' Goddess of Romantic Home Beauty! I thought turning 50 was just the most awesome thing evah! So, just wait until next year! It'll probably knock your socks off!
Grins!
Pamm
49 and FABULOUS........ you look happier than when I first started reading your blog....and more sure of your self.....that latest picture on your side bar.....I mean really you are more beautiful ...... just keep getting better...
Happy Birthday
Linda
Hi Cindy,
and Happy 49th Birthday, you're just a spring chicken!!
Your cake looks absolutely lovely and delicious. Hope you enjoy it very much.
You are so right, we can choose to be happy, and it makes such a difference in our lives and the lives of others.
Guess when we grow up we realize life is not always about us!!
Hope you have a delightful birthday full of all the people,
places and things you love most!
Blessings, Nellie
Happy Birthday, Cindy! I turned 35 on September 14th. :)

Happy, happy birthday to you!! I hope you had a very special day. Your cake was absolutely scrumptious to look at!! It is so nice to hear that you are in a really good place. So many people don't feel that way at this point in time. I truly believe that life is what you make of it and, if you have a positive attitude about things, they will turn out in a positive way. Thanks for your wonderful post!! : )

Happy Birthday Cindy
Its very true what you said. I have a saying "Attitude of gratitude". If you are feeling angry or frustrated or sad its the attitude that has to change. I am not being grateful. Once you have gratitude everything changes. i can choose to have a good day or a bad day. I choose a good day. So many more happy contented birthdays. And thank you for all your inspiration.

I have a video I show to all my new hires at work, "Attitude is Everything" by Keith Harrell. It is an excellent video that is so funny and goes along with your outlook exactly.
Hope you enjoyed your day! 49!! Enjoy the last year of this decade - then the fun begins!!
Happy birthday--your attitude and approach to life is an inspiration. Oh, and DROOL! Enjoy your drool-inducing cake!

Happy Birthday Cindy.
I'm so very late but
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I'm so glad I first came to visit your blog, about a year or so ago...you and two others are what prompted me to start mine...and now look where we are lol! attitude comes from women like you who inspire us all to pick up, shut up and get on with making life beautiful...that happened to me when I came here and not to get too soppy and I hope as the 136th commenter you will read this, is that I was inspired to make the bet of my tatty old cottage by the sea and I did - much attributed to you all those miles away
so just saying a pure and simple THANKS

Happy Birthday Cindi ! I am so glad it truley is Happy for you !!
Happy Birthday, sweet girl! I'm going to tell you that the fifties are even better. Once I hit 50, I decided I was going to live like I wanted to, feel good about it, and see the glass as half full. The thing is: raising kids is a wonderful time. But then they go off and have lives of their own, and we find our own unique way. Your birthday chocolate looks sublime!
Brenda
Oh, darn, I missed your birthday!!! Wishing you a year filled with happiness. :)
