Today is my birthday!
In the hustle-bustle of ordinary life where petty annoyances often present themselves, I try to stop and remember what's important: my life and good fortune.
I'm grateful to be alive. Life is fragile and shouldn't be taken for granted. I lost a brother and mother at terribly early ages. I myself almost bit the dust a few years ago in a motorcycle-accident. Every day is something to be thankful for.
I'm grateful to be able to express myself on this blog. It offers me an opportunity I never had before. To be able to talk openly and post pictures displaying my true nature has been deeply transformative for me.
And I'm grateful for my friends. Friends are a bedrock of support and you guys have been very helpful to me. I thank you for that.
Let's have fun today!
Happy Birthday! I wish you all the best and let your life be full of joy! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me not to let things annoy me and to be thankful for what I have. I've been in a horrendous mood for the last few days now, but that made me snap out of it a little bit.
