I started this morning with a strange yet warm feeling. I woke up and got ready to go to the beach as usual. I took the bones and leftovers out of the fridge to take to the beach for my dear dogs. Today was like a routine but with one exception.

Today was my birthday.

My beautiful dog and I stood by the sea and watched the calm and turbulent waves, having a bless in quiet serenity.

And when the sun gradually showed itself and took over the lonely horizon, it was time to return.

I wanted today, my birthday, to be different. An exceptional morning by the beach that I loved and a different sunset among my dear family.

If you are someone who has a birthday on Valentine's Day and two days before "Father's Day", finding a birthday cake is usually not an easy task. All the bakeries that bake birthday cakes were busy and their cakes and pastries run out soon. In the meantime, most cakes were designed with the theme of "Valentine" and "Love". Damn it was hard to find what I wanted!

I wanted my family to eat a birthday cake on my birthday and enjoy this day. Of course, maybe it was more exciting that others bought me cake, but what matters the most is that we are together and enjoy these happy moments alongside each other.

In those moments, even the ugliest sensations turn delightful and bright!

Just as if, this is what it is about…

I liked it all…  the customary family gathering

And the gorgeous morning on a golden beach!
