Its my Birthday in 30 mins. I've always loved my birthday, the most special day of the year and every year the first time i get a calendar in hand, i check out the day, mark it with stars and feel special every time waiting for it to come.
I've had my milestone birthdays and apprehended that the next decade would be half as exciting but trust me, it only gets better every year. I've figured out the older you are, the more you've lived, more fun you've had and more you can carve out your days. I can happily say that settling into my mid 40s has been extremely refreshing, and I am so excited for what life throws at me in the next five years… yes, turning 50 included! I am more at ease with and kinder to myself, more relaxed with where I am in life and generally happier than I can ever remember being. I've got the “I’m gonna do me and what makes me happy, regardless of what anyone else thinks” vibe is getting stronger every day.
This year, as i celebrate my birthday, I specially thank God for the life as growing older is a privilege denied to many, and I am grateful that I get to do so as a happy and healthy individual. I'm grateful for my loving family and friends around me.
Isn’t it strange how the most awful of circumstances, a pandemic, can make you appreciate the smallest of things around you?
I cant wait for tomorrow, to wake up to the chorus of "Happy Birthday" by the husband and my little girl, to speak to my parents and get their wishes, to receive the numerous messages and calls , the nest meal ever cooked by my son and be spoilt by all the extra attention.
Bring it on 45 years of revolution round the sun!I love you and i love my life.
