Once again, I’m a year older. It seems like yesterday that I was all giddy and excited to celebrate my birthdays. These days, I’m more about being stubbornly anxious to cling on my yesterday’s age. But hey, time is time and life is life; we all eventually need to move on and grow up. As I enter and trudge on another year in my life, I just have to admit that my life isn’t too bad, and that there are so many things to be thankful for.
… for the loving boyfriend that perfectly became the yang to my yin
… for the wonderful family that has continuously supported and grounded me
… for the PG gang that have stuck with me for 10++ years, and understand why I am
… for the delicate Flowers that accepted the B and tapped into my nicer alter ego
… for the demonyitas and bond-mates that brought spontaneity in my life
… for the teachers and professors that taught me the concepts and rules of the world
… for the old friends that made my past a colorful collection of nostalgic memories
… for the new friends that make my present full of unexpected adventures
… for the job that funds my various needs and wants
… for the past and present workmates that made my corporate life an interesting one
… for the coaches, and trainers that provided health and fitness knowledge and tips
… for the conversations, and debates that opened my mind to new perspectives
… for the coffee and chocolates that kept me alive and alert
… for the ability to think of happy thoughts that balances my realistic pessimistic self.
… for the travel adventures that have made an ultimate mark on my life
… for the comfort zone that provided a familiar haven in the midst of chaos
… for the mistakes and conflicts that taught me resilience, and made me stronger
… for the social networks that connected me with family & friends anytime, anywhere.
… for the brutally honest people that keep me grounded and self-aware
… for the awkward moments that will be forever part of my amusing experiences.
… for the pain that reminds me I’m human
… for the books, movies and TV shows that entertained my imagination
… for the empowered females that continue to inspire me
… for the comfortable soft bed and pillows that enabled me to dream the sweetest dreams
… for the dreams that keep me hopeful and motivated
… for the luck that hopefully comes my way
Thank you!
This is for you. Thank you! My 26 years of existence have been interestingly beautiful because of you.
