A Year Younger Certainly!

Yes, that is how I felt today? Instead of asking " how old are you?", we should be asking,"how young are you?" I started the day as usual with my 5 minute energy routine.
We spent this anniversary of our births by driving to  Chateau Montebello  in Quebec.The picture on the left is of the huge fireplace in the center of the foyer.

It was a scenic drive with the view of the hills, valleys, the Ottawa River and the quaint little towns that we passed by. Within an hour, we reached our destination, the Chateau was nestled in a treed, sprawling estate. It has housed many important events and celebrated politicians and royalty had been past guests. As we walked in to go to the restaurant, we passed the hugest, tallest fireplace, we'd seen anywhere. There were also little boutiques on the first floor.

We went down the stairs to the restaurant , o what a feast for the eyes. The gracious hostess led us to a table that faced the river, told us the delicacies that were on the menu for the lunch buffet and gave us time to decide upon the whole buffet or only the cold buffet. We chose the former. We noticed that there were many Americans, either tourist or people who were attending a convention. The food was more than delicious.
We were not the only ones celebrating birthdays this day, and the staff were busy singing a birthday song in French for a couple of tables.

We had a nice walk around the property after our amazing lunch. Oh, what did we have, you asked? There was rabbit poached in wine sauce, seafood medley, mixed vegetables,potatoes cooked in several ways, rice pilaf,  huge salad bar, smoked mackerel, smoked tuna and other smoked meats, not to mention a huge table with various pies, cakes, mousse, cheesecake and fruits. Surely, you did not expect me to tell you what exactly I ate? Some things should remain private!

We then drove back before the traffic rush began! Then, I spent part of the evening in a thanksgiving meditation, not just for this day, but also for Energy Medicine that have made me feel younger every year since 2007. Any of my readers have the same feeling on their birthday? If not, then do contact me, so that when your next birthday come along, I'll show you how you, too, can feel that way.
My next post will continue with my trip to San Diego!
