Happy birthday, Deborah!
It's wonderful to hear that you had a marvelous day and received lots of birthday wishes from friends both online and offline. And I hope dinner with your dear boys was brilliant too.
You are a special lady, beautiful Deborah (I love Penny's "Bendigo Belle":-), with a very kind heart. You are extremely generous and understanding, always the first to offer insightful words of support (both on style-related and OT threads). On YLF - and I have no doubt that this is the case "in real life" too - you make hard days easier just by being you, by listening to what we have to say, and by always finding the right words to make us feel a little lighter. Thank you for that.
And then there's your impeccable style, of course. Arty layering and incorporating avant-garde pieces into your daily outfits - that always look "effortlessly Deborah", your fab 'do, and that innate sense of style and a brilliant knack for dressing "for who you really are". I always feel that your sartorial choices fully represent who you are as a person, and that is very inspiring.
Enjoy the rest of the birthday festivities!
