If I could put it in one word what my birthday this year
made me feel, it would be Thankful. I keep hearing about people who didn’t have a single wish on their birthday and those who just spent their day playing games and eating whatsnots in the fridge.
I am not saying that’s a very bad way to spend your
birthday, but I am going be honest with you here. My birthday has always been a
time of reflection for me, and I would always remember the things I have gained
and lost. And sometimes, what has been lost tends to take precedence over my
emotions. I am firstly thankful for my sister who is the wind the pushes me out of such
a low state when it happens.
I am also thankful for a couple of other things. I have a
friend who wished me at exactly the time the clocked changed the days to April
3rd ( G- it was your thought that counts, and thanks for the Pijja) I have family, friends and colleagues who
made it a point to go out there and not only buy me gifts but ensure that I
have cake and lunch and cake and coffee
and dinner and more cake..and well, just generally a nice day.
And I have a wonderful partner who allowed me to spend time
by the beach with a wonderful new dress, and dinner and drinks, and not just that, had so many more surprises for me to the extent I was overwhelmed.
(By the way- I won that Volleyball match!)
So I know guys, this one’s a short post. But I wanted to put it in
writing as a THANK YOU for everyone that has been so wonderful and generous for
my little day. They say friends are what makes the world go round, and the
one’s I have makes my world Rock while rounding.( you get my meaning la)
And a big big big HUGE thank you to my Pbear. You are the
best surprise that life could have ever given me.
