 It’s my birthday…third day of the third month of the year.  The day started  with greetings and wishes left and right. The feeling of being remembered in one of your special days, is great.  Some would tease me on age guessing.  Funny, every year, i’m on a state of denial.  And every year,  they tease me i’m nearing my senior citizenship. It’s a long way to go…but i’m not denying that I mature yearly.  I thought of those years that were…how many decades have passed? Well, change the question please. I was asked by a friend, “where’s the party?”.  Honestly, i’m no party celebrator. I’d rather have a simple get together or a dinner  for a special day.  But today, I had my day off. I was out with my better half.  We planned a special weekend trip up south instead to have my daughter with us.

 

At the end of the day, as i take a sip of my green tea coffee, and read all the wishes on my mobile,  I vividly remember no sad birthday for me, everytime, it’s always Happy, always Special. There are special gifts that I receive for a special day like this. Most treasured are wishes from friends and love ones. A friend asked, what best gift I got today…and I replied, “the best birthday gift I receive is the one from God, happiness deep inside, serenity at every sunrise, succes in every facet of my life, family beside me, caring friends, Love that never ends, Good health within me, beautiful memories of yesterdays, a nice day with so much to be thankful for,  a pathway leading to better tomorrow, dreams that manage to come true, and a great appreciation for whatever I do.

Happy Birthdays will be a one day affair. From the time i got all the greetings this morning, and the time I finish  my last sip of coffee. One special day, I aged… I matured. I’m touched by those who remembered and greeted me. And I thank  God for another year of  journey towards a better life.
