Happy Birthday

One year down, many more to go. Many people celebrate their birthdays extravagantly. I know some who celebrate it a full week. Some expect expensive gifts. Some people use their birthdays as an excuse to do something out of character. Im more humble about my birthdays. I dont announce it to the whole world and say 'gimme gimme gimme'. Birthdays are not an excuse to be greedy and selfish. I celebrate life itself and show humility and be thankful that I have made it another year.

I celebrate my birthdays on a more spiritual level. While I do love to spend my birthdays with friends and family, I enjoy the more meaningful part and take time to reflect on myself and where I am in life. What I have been through and what I have learned from my experiences. What I want, what I need, and what I deserve. And I am thankful that Im still here.

I like to start off by thanking God for being by my side throughout the whole 29 years. I also like to thank him for providing everything I ever needed. I am thankful for the lessons he has taught me.

I'd like to thank my parents for being there for me, eventhough we buttheads.

I'd like to thank my friends- past, present, and future for -sharing their experiences with me.

There are things that I'd like to change and things that I wish were true at this point in my life. But we all cant have what we want in life. We all just have to be thankful that we are still here. I know I have more years to go and its a long road. I know I can get there.

So, to being a young 29 and still lookin like a sexy 22 year old and to a new beginning. Cheers. And thank you.
