My 42nd Great Year!



It is already 10:40 in the morning on this 29th day of August right where I am staying. Actually, it is my coffee break but I am abstaining from it just for this time so that I can write one more entry. Two days from now, I will be ticking my monthly goals and to to-do lists to see how far I’ve gone and how much I’ve done things this year—the craziest calendar ever. This eighth month in particular is also fully packed with this-and-that goings-on like the rest of the months before it–when traveling and loads of work seemed endless. Now let me grab this rare moment to plug in my personal drama before these remaining eventful months will take away my mood. I have been intending to do it the past days, but you see, I have no memory like of an elephant. It is better late than never, anyway.
    

Just turned forty-two the last twenty-first of August. As always, there was no big celebration to anticipate, but it didn’t make me less thankful in life. What I had was a very simple diner with a few of my friends. They graced my special day with delicious meals and it made me so happy. We went out to our favorite coffee shop down town for a get-together after—that was all I needed I think. Of course, my social media account was swarmed with birthday greetings from family and friends. It made me happier even. Their kind words remind me how blessed I am still despite my lacking and my lonesomeness away from home. It was a 42nd great year, and a Happy Birthday still!
